Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Note
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the tank are captured and do
not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or
canisters is available in many filling
stations and can be purchased e.g. at Opel dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Note
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue
level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:1. Continuously drive the vehicle for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 20 km/h.
2. If AdBlue refill is detected successfully, AdBlue supply-
driven warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected, seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
event, park the vehicle in a space
with a higher ambient temperature
until AdBlue is liquified.
Note
When unscrewing the protective cap
from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The AdBlue tank should be filled
completely. This must be done if the
warning message regarding
prevention of an engine restart is
already displayed.

Driving and operating161
To engage reverse on 6-speed
transmission, depress the clutch
pedal, pull the ring under the selector
lever and move the selector lever
quite to the left and front.
If the gear does not engage, set the
selector lever to neutral, release the
clutch pedal and depress again. Then
repeat gear selection.
Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch
pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
When clutch slip is detected for a
specific time, the engine power will be reduced. A warning is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre. Release
the clutch.Caution
It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever.
Gear shift indication 3 106.
Stop-start system 3 149.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing the journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator m 3 105.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.

162Driving and operatingABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that
the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
When braking in an emergency, the
hazard warning flashers are switched
on automatically depending on the
force of deceleration. They are
switched off automatically the first
time you accelerate.
After starting off, the system performs a self-test which may be audible.
Control indicator u 3 106.
Fault9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Parking brake
9 Warning
Before leaving the vehicle, check
parking brake status. Control

Drive away function
Vehicles with manual transmission:
Depressing the clutch pedal and then
slightly releasing the clutch pedal and slightly depressing the accelerator
pedal releases the electric parking
brake automatically. This is only
possible if the automatic operation of
the electric parking brake is activated.
It is not possible when switch m is
pulled at the same time.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: Engaging D and then depressing the
accelerator pedal releases the
electric parking brake automatically.
This is only possible if the automatic
operation of the electric parking brake
is activated. It is not possible when
switch m is pulled at the same time.
Braking when vehicle is moving
When the vehicle is moving and the
switch m is kept pulled, the electric
parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle. As soon as the switch
m is released, braking will be
stopped.
The antilock brake system and the Electronic Stability Control stabilise
the vehicle while the switch m is kept
pulled. If an error of the electric
parking brake occurs, a warning
message is displayed in the driver
information centre. If the antilock
brake system and the Electronic
Stability Control fail, one or both

Descent control system
The descent control system allows
the vehicle to travel at a low speed
without depressing the brake pedal.
The vehicle will automatically
decelerate to a low speed and remain at that speed when the system is
activated. Some noise or vibration
from the brake system may be
apparent when the system is active.

170Driving and operatingDriver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds above 40 km/h.
Additionally at least the third gear
must be engaged on manual
transmission, on automatic
transmission position D or the second
or a higher gear in position M must be
selected.
Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or
downhill.
The system maintains the vehicle
speed at the preset speed by the
driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
The preset speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the
accelerator pedal firmly.
The status and preset speed is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
Control indicator m 3 109.Switching on the system
Press m, symbol m and a message
are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is still not active.

Driving and operating175the windscreen and camera sensors
to detect the vehicles ahead. If no
vehicle is detected in the driving path,
the adaptive cruise control will
behave like a conventional cruise
control.
The adaptive cruise control
automatically decelerates the vehicle
when approaching a slower moving
vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle
speed to follow the vehicle ahead at
the selected following distance. The
vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle ahead, but will
not exceed the set speed. It may
apply limited braking with activated
brake lights.
If the vehicle ahead accelerates or changes lane, the adaptive cruise
control progressively accelerates the
vehicle to return to the stored set
speed. If the driver operates the turn
lights to overtake a slower vehicle, the
adaptive cruise control allows the
vehicle to temporarily approach the
vehicle ahead to help passing it.
However, the set speed will never be
exceeded.The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds for manual transmission.
If the vehicle ahead is moving too
slowly and the selected following
distance cannot be maintained
anymore, a warning chime is given
and a message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre. The
message prompts the driver to take
back control of the vehicle. On
vehicles with automatic transmission, the system can brake the vehicle until
a full stop.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds over 30 km/h for manual
transmission. If the vehicle ahead is
moving too slowly and the selected
following distance cannot be
maintained anymore, a warning
chime is given and a message is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The message prompts thedriver to take back control of the
vehicle. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system can brake
the vehicle until a full stop.9 Warning
The complete driver attention is
always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle
because the brake pedal, the
accelerator pedal and the button
Ñ have priority over any adaptive
cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
Press C, the symbol C is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre. The
system is still not active.

176Driving and operating
Activation of the functionality by
setting the speed
The adaptive cruise control has to be
switched on manually at a speed
between 30 km/h and 180 km/h.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the automatic selector
lever must be in position D or M.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
move the thumb wheel to SET/-. The
current speed is stored and
maintained.The speed value is indicated in the
Driver Information Centre.
When the adaptive cruise control is
operating, the stop-start system is
automatically deactivated.
Overriding set speedIt is always possible to drive fasterthan the selected set speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is
released, the vehicle returns to the
stored speed. If a slower moving
vehicle is ahead, the following
distance selected by the driver is
restored.
If the set speed is exceeded, the
indicated speed setting flashes in the Driver Information Centre and a
warning message appears.9 Warning
Accelerating by the driver
deactivates automatic braking by
the system. This is indicated as a
pop-up warning in the Driver
Information Centre.
Increasing speed
With the adaptive cruise control
active, hold the thumb wheel moved
to RES/+ or briefly move to RES/+
repeatedly: The speed increases continuously or in small increments.
Reducing speed
With the adaptive cruise control
active, hold the thumb wheel moved
to SET/- or briefly move to SET/-
repeatedly: The speed decreases
continuously or in small increments.

Driving and operating177Resuming stored speedMove the thumb wheel to RES/+ at a
speed above 30 km/h. The adaptive
cruise control is activated with the
stored set speed.
Taking over the speed limit from
the traffic sign assistant
The intelligent speed adaptation
informs the driver when a speed limit
is detected by the traffic sign
assistant. The detected speed limit
can be taken over as new set speed
for the adaptive cruise control.
With the camera at the top of the windscreen, this system detects and
reads speed limit and end of speed
limit signs. The system also takes
account of information on speed limits from the navigation map data.
The function can be activated or
deactivated in the personalisation
menu 3 118.
If the adaptive cruise control is active, the recognised speed limit will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre and MEM illuminates.In the Driver Information Centre,
speed limit sign is shown in the
display and MEM illuminates for a few
seconds.
Press MEM on the steering wheel to
request saving of the suggested
speed.
Press MEM on the steering wheel
once more to confirm and save the
new speed setting.
This speed limit is now the new set
speed of the adaptive cruise control.
Adaptive cruise control on
vehicles with automatic
transmission
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, adaptive cruise control allows to maintain the selected
distance behind a stopping vehicle until a complete stop is reached.
If the system has stopped your
vehicle behind another vehicle, then
the set speed is replaced by a green
control indicator .. This symbol
notifies, that the vehicle is hold
automatically in stop position.If the stopped vehicle ahead was
stopped for a longer time and then
begins to move forward, the green
illuminated vehicle ahead control
indicator . will flash and a warning
chime will sound as a reminder to
check traffic before resuming.
When the vehicle ahead drives away,
press the accelerator pedal until
30 km/h and then move the thumb
wheel to SET- or RES+ to resume
adaptive cruise control. If the vehicle
stays stopped for more than five
minutes or if the driver's door is
opened and the driver's seat belt is
unfastened, then the electric parking
brake is applied automatically to hold the vehicle. Control indicator m will
illuminate. To release electric parking
brake, press the accelerator pedal.
