2020 VAUXHALL GRANDLAND X ignition

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

Driving and operating203Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
ignition and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
A label with symbols at the fuel filler
flap is indicating the allowed fuel
types. In Europe the pump nozzles of the filling stations are marked with
these symbols. Refuel only the
allowed fuel type.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Fuel filler flap is located at right rear
side of vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked. Open the
fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.
To open the fuel filler flap of a hybrid
vehicle, a depressurisation phase is
required to avoid the emission of fuel
vapour.

Vehicle battery
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
four weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
Battery discharge protection 3 121.

given in this section may lead to
temporary deactivation or
disturbance of the stop-start system.

218Vehicle care● See the Owner's Manual forfurther information.
● Explosive gas may be present in the vicinity of the vehicle battery.
Power saving mode This mode deactivates electrical
consumers to avoid excessive
discharging of the vehicle battery.
These consumers, such as the
Infotainment system, windscreen
wipers, low beam headlights,
courtesy light, etc. can be used for a
total maximum time of about
40 minutes after ignition is switched
off.
