226 Technical DataWeights, payload and roof load The payload is the difference between the
permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate 3218) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the kerb weight, enter the
data for your vehicle below:
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipmen t and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Note weight ranges in the vehicle
documents and on the rating plate. The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
gross vehicle weight. For example, if the
front axle is bearing its maximum
permissible load, the rear axle can only
bear a load that is equal to the gross
vehicle weight minus
the front axle load.
When the trailer is coupled and the towing
vehicle fully loaded (including all
occupants), the permissible rear axle load
(see identification plate or vehicle
documents) may be exceeded by 25 kg
and the permissible gross vehicle weight by
25 kg. If the permissible rear axle load is
exceeded, a maximum speed of 100 km/h
applies. If national regulations specify a
lower maximum speed for vehicles towing
a trailer, this must be observed.
See the identification plate or vehicle
documents for permissible axle loads. Roof load
The permissible roof load is 100 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the roof
rack plus the load carried.

228 Technical DataTyres Restrictions
Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning suitable tyre makes.
These tyres have undergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and
specific suitability for Opel vehicles.
Despite continuous market monitoring, we
are unable to assess these attributes for
other tyres, even if they have been granted
approval by the relevant authorities or in
some other form.
Further information 3153. Winter tyres
3
Tyres of size 205/50 R 16 are not suitable
for use as winter tyres except on vehicles
with the Z 16 LET engine.
Tyres of size 205/45 R 17 are not suitable
for use as winter tyres. If winter tyres are in use, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. Use
of the spare wheel may alter vehicle
handling. Obtain a replacement for the
faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have
the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
Further information 3
157.
Tyre chains
3
Tyre chains may be used on the front
wheels only.
We recommend the use of tyre chains with
a fine mesh that add no more than 10 mm
to the running surface and the insides of
the tyres (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyre
sizes 205/50 R 16 and 205/45 R 17.
Further information 3157. Wheels Wheel bolt tightening torque: 110 Nm.
Spare wheel
3
Depending on model, the spare wheel is
designed as a temporary spare wheel 3.
When using the spare wheel, the driving
behaviour may be modified. Replace the
faulty tyre as soon as possible, balance the
wheel and refit to vehicle. Follow the notes
on this page and 3157, 3173.
On vehicles with alloy wheels 3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
The spare wheel can be fitted with a
smaller tyre
1)and a smaller rim than the
wheels fitted on the vehicle.
Tyre pressure (overpressure) The specified tyre pressures are valid for
cold tyres. The increased tyre pressure
resulting from extensive driving must not
be reduced. The tyre pressures specified on
the following pages apply to both summer
and winter tyres.
The spare wheel must always be inflated to
the tyre pressure for a full load – see table
on following pages.
Further information 3153 to 3157. 1)Country-specific version: The spare wheel is
only to be used as a temporary spare wheel.
