268Vehicle careGeneral Information
Accessories and vehicle modifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Any modification, conversion or other changes made to standard vehicle
specifications (including, without
limitation, software modifications,
modifications of the electronic control units) may invalidate the warranty
offered by Vauxhall. Furthermore,
such changes may affect driver
assistance systems, fuel
consumption, CO 2 emissions and
other emissions of the vehicle. They
may also invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several months:
● Wash and wax the vehicle.
● Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
● Clean and preserve rubber seals.
● Change engine oil.
● Drain washer fluid reservoir. ● Check coolant antifreeze and corrosion protection.
● Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
● Park vehicle in a dry, well ventilated place. Engage first or
reverse gear. Prevent the vehicle
from rolling.
● Do not apply parking brake.
● Close all doors except front left- hand door and lock the vehicle.
● Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Note that all systems are
not functional, e.g. anti-theft
alarm system.
● Close and lock front left-hand door.
Putting back into operation When the vehicle is to be put back into
operation:
● Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Initialize the power
windows 3 41.
● Check tyre pressure.
● Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the engine oil level.
● Check the coolant level.
● Fit the number plate, if necessary.
Vehicle care271Caution
It is the owner's responsibility to
maintain the proper level of an
appropriate quality oil in the
engine.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert fully, pull out and read the
engine oil level.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top-up
engine oil.
Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to
drop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
type of engine oil that was used at the
last change.
Between the MIN and MAX marks a
volume of approx. 1.5 - 2.0 l can be
filled in.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out. If the oil exceeds the maximum level, do
not start the vehicle and contact a
workshop.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel. Ensure
funnel is securely located onto the
filler pipe.
A stabilisation of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until
the vehicle has been driven several
thousand miles. Only then can the
actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.6 l every 600 miles after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Body conversions331
Using the safety prop1. Prepare the tipper body for tipping
to the rear.
2. Raise the tipper fully.
3. Raise the safety prop to align with
support on the tipper.
4. Lower the tipper body until the safety prop is in contact with the
tipper.
Stowing the safety prop:
1. Raise the tipper body sufficiently to release the safety prop from its
support.
2. Lower the safety prop into the stowed position.
3. Lower the tipper body.
Hydraulic oil levelCaution
Before any inspection work can be carried out the safety prop must be
in position.
With the tipper fully raised, the
hydraulic oil level must be between
the MIN and MAX marks.Caution
Only use products that have been
tested and approved. Damage
resulting from the use of
nonapproved materials will not be
covered by the warranty.
The use of additives could cause
damage and invalidate the
warranty.
Check the hydraulic oil level after long
driving on bumpy or steep roads.
Have the cause of the loss of
hydraulic oil remedied by a workshop.
Use only hydraulic oil type SAE 10
(ISO 32), or a type Q8 ELI 1298L
suitable for Class 1 conditions.
