Lashing eyes may be located on the
vehicle floor and / or in the sidewall.
The number and location of the
lashing eyes may vary depending on
the vehicle.
The maximum force applied to the
lashing eyes should not exceed
500 daN / 5 kN / 5000 N.
Depending on country, the maximum
force may be shown on a label.

154Driving and operatingNotice
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the tank are captured and do
not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or
canisters is available in many filling
stations and can be purchased e.g. at Vauxhall dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Notice
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue
level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:1. Continuously drive the vehicle for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 12 mph.
2. If AdBlue refill is detected successfully, AdBlue supply-
driven warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected, seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
event, park the vehicle in a space
with a higher ambient temperature
until AdBlue is liquified.
Notice
When unscrewing the protective cap
from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The AdBlue tank should be filled
completely. This must be done if the
warning message regarding
prevention of an engine restart is
already displayed.The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the fuel filler flap, which is located at left rear side of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic key system, the fuel filler
flap can only be opened if the vehicle
is unlocked.
1. Remove key from ignition switch.
2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
3. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap 3 204.

Driving and operating203Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel with a lower octane
rating than the lowest possible
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
The engine specific requirements
regarding octane rating are given in
the engine data overview 3 260. A
country-specific label at the fuel filler
flap can supersede the requirement.
In certain countries, the use of a
particular fuel, e.g. a specific octane
rating, may be required to ensure
proper engine operation.
Fuel for diesel engines
The diesel engines are compatible
with bio-fuels that conform to current and future European standards and
and can be obtained from filling
stations:
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester)
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester)
Paraffinic diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meetingstandard EN16709 is possible in your
diesel engines. However, this use,
even occasional, requires strict
