Driving and operation
Maintena nc e
Hav e all maintenance work carried out
at the intervals specified by Opel. We
recom mend that you entrust this work
to your Opel Service Partner, who ha s
proper equipment and trained personnel
ava ilab le. Elec tronic testing systems
permit rapid dia gnosis and rem edy of
faults. This way you can b e certain that
all comp onents of the vehicle’s electric al,
injection and ignition systems operate
correctly, that your vehicle has a low level
of pollutant emission and that the c atalytic
converter system will hav e a long service
life.
You are thereby m aking an imp ortant
contrib ution towards keeping the air clean
and com plia nc e with emissions legislation.
The Service work includes testing and
adjusting the fuel injection system and the
ignition system . For this reason, hav e a ll
Service work carried out at the interv als
specified by Opel (see chapter "Serv ic e,
Maintenance" on page 165).
Drive control systems
Electronic Stab ility Program (ESP),
Electronic Stab ility Control (ESC)
Elec tronic Stability Control (ESC) is a
component part of the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP).
ESP im proves driving stability w hen
necessary in any driving situation,
regardless of the type of road surface or
tyre g rip . It also prevents the d riv e wheels
from spinning.
The system m onitors vehicle movements.
As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve
(understeers/oversteers) engine output is
reduced (the sound of the engine cha ng es)
and individual wheels are specifically
braked . This considerab ly improves the
driving stability of the vehicle on snow and
ice and on wet or slippery road surfa ces.
ESP is ready for operation as soon a s the
ignition is switched on and control
indicator v goes out.
The ESP control process is disp la yed b y the
flashing of v.
The vehicle is now in a critical situa tion;
ESP allows you to keep control of the
vehicle a nd reminds you to m atch your
speed to the road conditions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
121
Driving and operation
Cruise control
The c ruise c ontrol can store and maintain
speeds above approx. 30 k m/h (20 mph).
Dev iations from the stored sp eeds m ay
occur when d riv ing uphill or d ow nhill.
For safety reasons, cruise control cannot
be activated until the brak e pedal has
been operated once.
Cruise control is operated with buttons m,
8
, and
9
on the left side of the steering
wheel.
Do not use cruise control if it is
not advisable to maintain a constant
speed (e.g. in situa tions presenting a
danger to yourself and other road users,
in heav y traffic or on winding, slippery or
greasy roads).
When cruise control is a ctive, reaction
times may be increased due to the different
position of the feet.
To activate:
Press button m to turn c ruise c ontrol on.
The control indica tor in the button will
illuminate.
Accelerate to the desired speed, press the
9
button and release it: the current
speed is stored and maintained.
The accelerator ped al can be released
after setting cruise control speed.
Vehicle speed can be increased
temporarily for overta king purposes, by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator ped al is released,
the previously stored speed is resumed.
"CRUISE ENGAGED" appears in the driver
inform ation centre with cruise control
active.
Check c ontrol warning messages -
see page 68.
9
Warning
The driver is always responsible for
maintaining a n appropriate speed if
cruise control is on. Failure to follow
instruc tions c an ca use injuries or put liv es
at risk.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
122
Driving and operation
Incr ease speed :
With cruise control activ e, hold down
button
8
or briefly press it repeatedly:
speed is increased continuously or in steps
of 1.6 km/h (1 m ph) without using the
accelerator pedal.
When button
8
is released, the current
speed is stored and m aintained.
Alternatively, use the accelerator pedal to
increase vehicle speed, press button
9
and release it, then release the accelerator
pedal.
When button
9
and the accelerator
pedal are released, the current speed is
stored and m ainta ined.
Decrease speed:
With cruise control activ e, hold down
button
9
or briefly press it rep eatedly:
speed is reduced continuously or in steps
of 1.6 km/h (1 m ph).
When button
9
is released, the current
speed is stored and m aintained.
To dea ctivate:
Switch off cruise control when not needed,
to avoid accid ental activa tion.
Press button m: cruise control is switched
off, the control indicator in the button goes
out a nd the vehicle slowly d ecelerates.
To continue driv ing , depress the
accelerator ped al in the usua l manner.
For reasons of safety, c ruise control
deactiv ates under certain driving
conditions. For exa mple:
z if the vehicle’s speed drops below
approx. 30 km/h (20 mph) or
z if the brake peda l is depressed or
z if the clutch p edal is depressed or
z if the Elec tronic Stability Program (ESP)
comes into a ction, to improve driving
stability and lim it wheel spin.
Deactivating cruise control does not switch
off the system.
Resuming the stored speed:
Briefly press button
8
at a speed above
30 km /h (20 mph): speed selected before
cruise c ontrol was deactivated is resumed.
The value of the stored speed is deleted
when cruise control ha s b een switched off
by pressing button m, and when the
ignition is turned off.
Brake system
The effectiveness of the brakes is an
important factor for traffic sa fety.
To improve effectiveness, d o not brake
unnecessarily hard for the first 200 k m
(120 miles) a fter new brake pads have
been fitted .
Brake pad wea r must not exceed a
spec ified limit. R egular ma intena nce as
detailed in the chapter "Service,
Maintenance" on pag e 165 is therefore of
the utm ost importance for traffic safety.
Hav e w orn b ra ke p ads replaced by a
workshop. Pads which have been tested
and a pproved ensure optimum b ra ke
performa nc e.
Brake pad s that hav e worn to their
minimum thickness generate a grinding
noise. Continued driving is possible.
Hav e the brake pads replaced as soon
as possible by a workshop.
9
Warning
Disregard of these instruc tions may lead
to injuries or endanger lives.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
123
Driving and operation
Brake assist
Powerful application of the brake peda l
automatically applies maximum brak ing
force a mplification to a chieve the shortest
possible braking d istance under full
braking (brak e a ssist).
Maintain steady pressure on the brak e
pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is
to continue. When the brake ped al is
released, the maximum brak e force
amp lification is taken away.
Foot b rake
The foot brake comp rises two independent
brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be
braked using the other brake circuit. If this
oc curs, however, the brak e pedal m ust be
depressed quite far using considerable
force before braking effect occurs. The
distance required for braking will b e
greater. Consult a workshop before
continuing your journey.
To ensure the full pedal travel can be
utilized, esp ecially in c ase of a fault in one
of the brake circuits, there must b e no
unrestrained mats in the vic inity of the
pedals – see page 111.
When the engine is not running, the
assista nce of the brake servo unit ends
once the brake peda l has b een depressed
once or twice. Braking effect is not
reduced, but braking requires significantly
greater force.
Check the brake lamps before starting
out on a journey.
Just before starting any journey, check
effectiveness of brak e system at low
speeds and without obstructing moving
traffic, pa rticularly if brakes are wet, e.g.
after washing the vehicle.
The brake/clutch fluid level should b e
checked regularly. If the b ra ke/clutc h fluid
level is too low and the hand brak e is not
app lied, c ontrol indicator R illumina tes in
the instrument panel – see pa ge 56.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
124
Driving and operation
Hand brake
Always apply ha nd brake firmly. On slopes,
apply the hand brake as firmly as possible.
The m echanical hand b ra ke a ffects the
rea r wheel brakes. They a utomatica lly
enga ge w hen the lever is p ulled.
To release the hand brake, lift handle
slig htly, press release button and lower
handle all the way down.
To reduce the opera ting forces of the hand
brake, depress the foot brake at the sa me
time.
Control ind icator R for brake system
Illum inates when the ignition is switched on
if the hand brake is applied or if the brake/
clutch fluid level is too low.
Flashes at speeds over 8 km/h (5 m ph) if
ha nd brak e is applied. Release hand brake
before continuing journey, to av oid
ov erheating and damag ing the brake
system. See also page 70.
Brake and clutch fluid – see page 156.
ABS
u
The AB S (Anti-lock Brake System )
continuously monitors the brake system
and p revents the wheels from lock ing,
independently of the typ e of road surface
and the tyre grip.
It starts to regulate the braking pressure as
soon a s a wheel shows a tendency to lock.
The vehicle rema ins steerable, even in the
event of v ery heavy braking, for insta nce
on bends or when swerving to a void an
obstacle. Ev en in the c ase of full-on
brak ing, the ABS mak es it possible to drive
round an obstacle w ithout releasing the
brak es.
ABS control is mad e ap parent throug h a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.
9
Warning
If the control indicator illuminates when
the hand brake is not ap plied: Stop.
Interrupt your journey immediately.
Consult a workshop.
9
Warning
For optimum braking, keep the brak e
peda l fully dep ressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce
the pressure on the peda l.
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into ta king risk s w hen driving.
Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by
adopting a responsible d riv ing style.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
125
Driving and operation
Control indica tor u for ABS
Illuminates for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched on. The system is ready
for operation when the control indica tor
goes out.
If the control indicator does not g o out
after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while
driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The
brake system remains operational without
ABS regulation.
Self-check
Each time the ignition is switc hed on and
the engine is started, after setting off at a
speed of about 3 km /h (2 mph), the system
performs a self-check which may be
audible.
Fault
You can continue driving, prov ided you
drive with care a nd antic ipation.
Have the cause of the fa ult remed ied by a
work shop. The system’s integrated
self-d ia gnostics allows fa ults to be quickly
remedied.
Wheels, tyres
See page 179 for suitable tyres and
restrictions.
Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the
chassis and offer optimum driving comfort
and safety.
Cha nging tyre/w heel type
Before changing to tyres or wheels of a
different size, seek a dvice as regards
technical possibilities. Seek the assistance
of a w ork shop.
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, the electronic
speedometer may req uire reprogramm ing
to ensure that the correct speed is
displayed.
9
Warning
If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may
be subject to loc king due to braking that
is heav ier than norm al. This may cause
the vehicle to sw erve. The adva ntag es of
ABS are no longer op erational.
9
Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
126
Driving and operation
Fitting new tyres
Please fit tyres in pairs. Sets would be even
better. Replace tyres w ith:
z the same size,
z the same design,
z the same make,
z the same tread pattern on one axle.
Fit direc tional tyres such that they roll in the
direc tion of travel. The rolling d irection is
indicated by a symbol (e.g. a n arrow) on
the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction
(e.g. when a tyre is chang ed) should be
refitted a s soon as possible. This is the only
way to obtain full benefit from the design
properties of the tyre.
Observe legal requirements w hen
disposing of tyres.
Some brands of tyres have a b eaded
edge for alloy wheels to protect against
damage. If a wheel trim is used on steel
wheels with beaded-edg e tyres, the
following procedure must be followed:
z Wheel trims and tyres that are a pproved
for the respective vehicle and c om ply
with all of the relevant wheel and tyre
combination requirements must b e used.
z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
approved, the tyres must not have a
beaded ed ge.
Tyre pressure
Check tyre pressures w hen cold, a t least
every 14 days and prior to any long
journey.
Tyre pressures – see p age 180 and the tyre
and load ing information label on the
B-pillar, v isible with the driver’s d oor open.
Hav e tyre and loa ding information label
replaced after changing to a different tyre
size.
Do not reduce tyre pressure w hen the tyres
are warm. Otherw ise the pressure m ay
drop below the permissible minimum when
the tyres cool down.
9
Warning
Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheel trim s
could lead to sudden pressure loss and
thereby a ccidents.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
127
Driving and operation
After having checked the tyre p ressures,
tighten the valve caps.
Incorrect tyre pressures will imp air safety,
vehic le handling, com fort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this ca n result
in considerable tyre warm-up and internal
dam age, leading to tread sep aration a nd
even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Hidden tyre damag e is not eliminated by
adjusting tyre p ressure.
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Driv e over edges slowly and at right angles
if possible. Driving over sharp edges can
cause concealed da mage to tyres and
wheels that only becomes noticeable later.
Do not trap tyres when parking.
Check tyres regularly for dama ge (foreign
bodies, punctures, cuts, crack s, bulg es in
sidewalls). Chec k wheels for damage. In
the event of dam age or abnorm al wear,
consult a workshop.
Tread d ep th
Check tread depth at regula r intervals.
If there is more wea r at the front than the
rear, swap round front wheels and rear
wheels.
Correct the tyre pressure.
Tyres should be replac ed for safety
reasons if tread depth drops b elow 2-3 mm
(4 mm for w inter tyres).
9
Warning
Inc orrect tyre pressure can lead to tyre
rupture.
9
Warning
Dama ge m ay lead to tyre blow-out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128
Driving and operation
The legally permissible minimum tread
depth (1.6 m m) has been reached when
the tread has worn down as far as one of
the w ear indicators (TWI
1)
). A number of
wear indicators a re spaced at equal
intervals around the tyre within the tread.
Their position is indicated by markings on
the tyre sidewall.
General information
z The danger of aq uap laning is greater if
the tyres are worn.
z Tyres age, even if they a re used only very
little or not at all.
z Never fit used tyres the prev ious history
and use of w hich you do not know.
z So as not to im pair brake cooling , use
only wheel trims app rov ed for use on
your vehicle.

Winter tyres 3
For notes on fitting new tyres –
see page 126.
See page 179 for restric tions.
Winter tyres im prove safety at
tem peratures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
The d esign of summ er tyres mea ns they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
If the maxim um perm issible speed for the
winter tyres is less than that of the vehicle,
a notice ind icating the ma ximum
permissible speed for the tyres must be
affixed within the driver’s field of v ision

.
Wheel trims
If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
approved, m ake sure that the tyres do not
have a beaded edge – see page 126.
Tyre chains 3
Restric tions and further inform ation -
see p age 179.
Tyre c hains are only perm itted on the
driven wheels (rear axle). They m ust be
fitted to the tyres symmetrically in order
to achieve a c oncentric fit.
Alw ays use fine-linked chains that ad d no
more than 11 m m to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into
contact with parts of the cha in and be
dam aged . Remove the wheel trim.
Tyre cha ins may only be used at sp eeds up
to 50 km/h (30 mph) or up to the tyre chain
ma nufacturer’s recommended m aximum
speed, whichever is lower.
When travelling on roa ds that are free of
snow , they may be used for brief periods
only since they are subject to rap id wear on
a hard road and m ay snap.
Avoid sharp turns, bumps and holes and
do not lock the wheels when brak ing, to
av oid damaging the tyre chains.
Re-tighten the chains after d riv ing for
app rox. 1 km (0.6 miles). If, at any time you
hea r or suspect that the chains are
contacting the vehicle, stop and re-tighten
the chains.
Always read the instructions supplied with
the tyre cha ins.
Correct the tyre pressure b efore starting-
off. See page 180.
