Opel Connect
Opel Connect is a new way to stay
connected and secure on the road.
Features available with
Opel Connect are:
● emergency call function
● breakdown call function
When the vehicle is equipped with
Opel Connect, these features are
automatically activated. Terms and
Conditions apply.
Opel Connect is operated by the
buttons in the overhead console.
Note
Opel Connect is not available for all
markets. For further information,
contact your workshop.
Emergency call function
Vehicles featuring the emergency call
function are equipped with a red
SOS button in the overhead console.
The emergency call function will
establish a connection to the nearest
public safety answering point (PSAP).

156Driving and operatingTurn key briefly to position 2 and
release after engine has been
started.
Manual transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by depressing the clutch pedal
3 157.
Automatic transmission: during an
Autostop, the engine can be started
by releasing the brake pedal 3 157.
Vehicles with power button● Manual transmission: operate clutch and brake pedal.
● Automatic transmission: operate brake pedal and move selector
lever to P or N.
● Do not operate accelerator pedal.
● Press Start/Stop button.
● Release button after starting procedure begins. Diesel engine
starts after control indicator z
for preheating extinguishes.
● Before restarting or to switch off the engine when vehicle is
stationary, press Start/Stop once
more briefly.
To start the engine during an
Autostop:
● Manual transmission: during an Autostop, the engine can be
started by depressing the clutch
pedal 3 157.
● Automatic transmission: during an Autostop, the engine can be
started by releasing the brake pedal 3 157.Emergency shut off during driving
If the engine needs to be switched offduring driving in case of emergency,
press Start/Stop for 5 seconds.9Danger
Switching off the engine during
driving may cause loss of power
support for brake and steering
systems. Assistance systems and
airbag systems are disabled.
Lighting and brake lights will
extinguish. Therefore power down the engine and ignition while
driving only when required in case of emergency.

170Driving 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 i 3 112.
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
indicator h illuminate constantly
when parking brake is applied.
9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
foot brake at the same time.

Driving and operating181speed. 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.
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.
The adaptive cruise control can store set speeds between 40 km/h and
150 km/h. Additionally at least the
third gear must be engaged on
manual transmission, on automatic
transmission position D / A or the
second or a higher gear in position
M must be selected.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 and the accelerator pedal have priority
over any adaptive cruise control operation.
Switching on the system
The adaptive cruise control can be
switched on at a speed between
40 km/h and 150 km/h.
A precondition is that adaptive cruise
control is not deactivated in the
vehicle personalisation menu 3 124.
Turn to Cruise, the symbol Q and a
message are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The system is still not active.

186Driving and operatingactual lane. This can happen when
entering or exiting a bend or if the
bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no
longer detects any vehicle ahead,
then control indicator I will
extinguish.
If the centrifugal force is too high in a
bend, the system slows down the
vehicle slightly. This braking level is
not designed to avoid spinning-off the
bend. The driver is responsible for
reducing the selected speed before
entering a bend and in general to
adapt the speed to the road type and
to existing speed limits.
Motorways
On motorways, adapt the set speed
to the situation and the weather.
Always consider that adaptive cruise
control has a limited visibility range, a
limited braking level and a certain
reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on
the driving path or not. Adaptive
cruise control may not be able to
brake the vehicle in time to avoid a
collision with a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is
particularly true while driving fast or if the visibility is reduced due to weather
conditions.
While entering or exiting a motorway,
adaptive cruise control may lose the
vehicle ahead and accelerate up to
the set speed. For this reason,
decrease the set speed before the
exit or before the entry.
Vehicle path changes
If another vehicle enters your driving
path, adaptive cruise control will first
consider the vehicle when it is
completely in your path. Be ready to
take action and depress the brake
pedal, if you need to brake more
quickly.
Hill considerations9 Warning
Do not use the adaptive cruise
control on steep hill roads.
System performance on hills depends
on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic
conditions and the road gradient. It
may not detect a vehicle in your path
while driving on hills. On steep hills,
you may have to use the accelerator
pedal to maintain your vehicle speed.
When going downhill you may have to brake to maintain or reduce your
speed.
Note that applying the brake
deactivates the system.
