60Seats, restraintsChild restraintsChild restraint systems
We recommend the Opel child
restraint system which is tailored
specifically to the vehicle.
When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the table 3 61.
Airbag deactivation 3 58.
Airbag label 3 53.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.
Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.

Further information 3 73.Loading information
■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenlydistributed and placed as far
forward as possible. If objects can
be stacked, the heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 71.
■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding.
■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests ofthe rear seats must not be angled
forward.
■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
■ Do not place any objects on the instrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.■ Do not drive with an open load compartment. In addition, the
number plate is only
distinguishable and illuminated correctly if the doors are closed.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 179) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).

74Storage
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and
vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
200 kg for H1 roof variants and
150 kg for H2 roof variants
(excludes Platform cab
conversions). The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.

82Instruments and controlsFuel gauge
Displays fuel level in the tank.
Control indicator Y also illuminates in
instrument cluster 3 83 when fuel
level is low (range of approx. 50 km):
refuel immediately 3 134.
Never run the tank dry.
Diesel fuel system, bleeding 3 146.
Note
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
5 litres) to ensure accurate readings.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
Fuel economy gauge
The fuel economy gauge provides an
instantaneous calculation of fuel
efficiency based on current driving style.
The gauge uses colours to indicatecurrent fuel efficiency:Green=best fuel economy
is being achievedYellow=driving style too
aggressiveOrange=least efficient fuel
economy
The fuel economy gauge is enabled by default. It can be disabled via the
Infotainment system. Refer to
Infotainment system manual for
further information.
Service display
When the ignition is switched on, the
remaining distance before the next
service is due may be shown briefly in the Driver Information Centre. Based
on driving conditions, the interval at
which a service will be indicated can
vary considerably.
The distance before service display
can also be shown by pressing button on end of wiper lever for approx.
5 seconds.
