unusual wear.
Tyres
Tyres of size 225/45 R 17 are only
permitted if the vehicle is equipped
with electronic stability program.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C.
Tyres of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR
18 and 235/35 R 19 must not be used
as winter tyres. Winter tyres may only be used on the
Zafira OPC on special alloy wheels
approved by Opel.
Run-flat winter tyres may only be
used on factory approved alloy
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.
Run-flat tyres
Run-flat tyres have reinforced, self-
supporting sidewalls, which ensure
that the tyres always have a certain
amount of driveability, even when
there is no pressure.
Run-flat tyres are only permitted on
vehicles with electronic stability
program
and tyre pressure monitoring
system or deflation detection system. Caution
Check tyre pressures regularly
even if run-flat tyres are fitted.

■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed
under the jack.
■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
