Weights, payload and roof load
The payload is the difference between the
permissible Gross Vehicle Weight (see
vehicle identification plate on page 215)
and the EC kerb weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter the
data from your vehicle below:
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipmen t and accessories
increase the kerb weight and in some cases
also the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight,
which means that the payload will also
change slightly.
Note the weights given on the vehicle
identification plate. The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
Gross Vehicle Weight. For example, if the
front axle load is being fully utilized, the
rear axle can only bear a load that is equal
to the Gross Vehicle Weight minus the front
axle load.
See the vehicle identi
fication plate on
page 215 or the vehicle documents for
permissible axle loads. Roof load
The maximum permissible roof load
is 100 kg.
The roof load is the combined weight of the
roof rack and the load.
Driving hints – page 127.

Tyres
Restrictions
Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning su itable 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 - see page 149.
Winter tyres 3
Tyres of size 235/55 R 18 are not to be used
as winter tyres. Tyres of size 215/70 R 16,
235/60 R 17 and 235/65 R 17 may be used
as winter tyres.
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 - see page 152.
Tyre chains
Restrictions
We recommend the use of Opel-tested
fine-mesh tyre chains that add no more
than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are permitted only on tyres of
size 215/70 R 16. We recommend you
consult your Opel Partner.
Further information - see page 152.

224 Technical data
Tyre pressures in kPa/bar
The tyre pressures given are valid for cold
tyres. The increased tyre pressure resulting
from extensive driving must not be
reduced.
The tyre pressures specified apply to both
summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare wheel to the tyre
pressure for full load.
Further information - see pages 149 to 153. Tyre pressure for load of
