2020 VAUXHALL GRANDLAND X warning

Driving and operating193● winding or hilly roads
● road edges
● sudden lighting changes
● adverse environmental conditions, e.g. heavy rain or
snow
● vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres
Switch off the system if the system is
disturbed by tar marks, shadows,
road cracks, temporary or
construction lane markings, or other
road imperfections.9 Warning
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
Lane keep assist does not
continuously steer the vehicle.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert,
even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the lane keep
assist may not be sufficient to
avoid a lane departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences like road condition and
surface and weather. The driver has full responsibility to control the vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
Driver alert
The driver alert system monitores the driving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
9 Warning
The system cannot replace the
need for vigilance on the part of
the driver. Taking a break is
recommended as soon as feeling tired or at least every two hours.
Do not take the steering wheel
when feeling tired.
Activation or Deactivation
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the vehicle
personalisation 3 107.
The state of the system stays in
memory when the ignition is switched
off.
Driving time alert The driver gets notified by a pop-up
reminder symbol € in the Driver
Information Centre simultaneously with an acoustic alert if the driver has
not taken a break after 2 hours of
driving at a speed above 40 mph. The alert is repeated hourly until the
vehicle is stopped, no matter how
vehicle speed evolves.

194Driving and operatingThe counting of driving time alert is
reset when the ignition has been
switched off for a few minutes.
Driver drowsiness detection
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance. A camera at the top of the windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lane
markings. This system is particularly
suited to fast roads (speed higher
than 40 mph).
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert. The driver is notified by
a message and an audible signal is
given.
After three first level alerts, the
system triggers a new alert with a message, accompanied by a more
pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor
road surface or strong winds), the
system may give alerts independent of the driver's level of vigilance.The driver drowsiness detection is
reinitialised when the ignition has been switched off for a few minutes or the speed remains below 40 mph for
a few minutes.
System limitations
In the following situations, the system
may not operate properly or even not operate at all:
● poor visibility caused by inadequate lighting of the
roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog etc.
● dazzle caused by headlamps of an oncoming vehicles, low sun,
reflections on damp roads,
leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light etc.
● windscreen area in front of the camera covered by dirt, snow,
stickers etc.
● no lane markings detected or multiple lane markings due to
roadworks
● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roadsCharging9 Warning

Important information about
portable electric vehicle charging
● Charging an electric vehicle can stress a building's electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
● Before you plug in to any electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions and
protection devices) for heavy-
duty service at a 10 A continuous
load.
● Electrical outlets may wear out with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making them unsuitable for electric vehicle
charging.
● Check the electrical outlet / plug while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet / plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.● When outdoors, plug into an electrical outlet that is weather-
proof while in use.

Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with
fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol
(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended octane rating. A lower octane rating can reduce engine power and torque
and slightly increases fuel
consumption.
Caution
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.
