Natural gas operation, CNG
Pressing Y switches between petrol
and natural gas operation. Switching
is not possible at high loads (e.g.
powerful acceleration, driving at full
throttle). The LED status shows the
current operating mode.
1 off:natural gas
operation1 illumi‐
nates:petrol operation1 flashes:no switching is
possible, one type of
fuel is emptyAs soon as the natural gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged until the
ignition is switched off.
If the natural gas tank is not refuelled, the system must be manually
switched to petrol operation before
the engine is restarted. This will
prevent damage to the catalytic
converter (overheating caused by
irregular fuel supply).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover inhibitor is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The inhibitor
remains active until the ignition is
switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving style (e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres) and high vehicle loads
(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates, then refuel. This isnecessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.
Note
Natural gas tanks (Type IV) consist
of lightweight fibre reinforced plastic.
After a collision behind the front
seats or overrunning of objects
which impact the underbody of the vehicle the natural gas tanks must
be checked. We recommend an
Opel Repairer authorised for
servicing natural gas vehicles.

unfastened seat belts has priority
over any other warning chime.
● If seat belt is not fastened.
● If a door or the tailgate is not fully
closed when starting-off.
● If a certain speed is exceeded with parking brake applied.
● If adaptive cruise control deactivates automatically.
● If approaching a vehicle ahead too closely.
● If a programmed speed or speed
limit is exceeded.● If a warning message appears in the Driver Information Centre.
● If the parking assist detects an object.
● If an unintended lane change occurs.
● If reverse gear is engaged and the rear carrier system is
extended.
● If the diesel particle filter has reached the maximum filling
level.

● If any condition for an autostart is
not fulfilled.
Battery voltage When the vehicle battery voltage is
running low, a warning message will
appear in the Driver Information
Centre.1. Switch off immediately any electrical consumers which are
not required for a safe ride, e.g.

the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.

All combinations are possible.
Fan speed
Adjust the air flow by switching the fan to the desired speed.
Demisting and defrosting ● Press V: fan automatically
switches to higher speed, the air
distribution is directed towards
the windscreen.
● Set temperature control to warmest level.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.

Climate control191Air conditioning system
In addition to the heating and
ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has controls for:
n:cooling4:air recirculation
Heated seats ß 3 43, Heated
steering wheel * 3 97.
Cooling n
Press n to switch on cooling. The
LED in the button illuminates to
indicate activation. Cooling is only
functional when the engine is running and climate control fan is switched on.
Press n again to switch off cooling.
The air conditioning system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) as soon as the
outside temperature is slightly above
the freezing point. Therefore
condensation may form and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons. Activated cooling
may inhibit autostops.
Stop-start system 3 202.
Air recirculation system 4
Press 4 to activate air recirculation
mode. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
Press 4 again to deactivate air
recirculation mode.9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and deactivate l.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
● Switch on cooling n.
● Air recirculation system 4 on.
● Press air distribution switch M.
● Set temperature control to coldest level.
● Set fan speed to highest level.
● Open all vents.

194Climate control
If the minimum temperature Lo is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum cooling, if cooling n is
switched on.
If the maximum temperature Hi is set,
the climate control system runs at
maximum heating.
Note
If n is switched on, reducing the set
cabin temperature can cause the
engine to restart from an Autostop or inhibit an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 202.
Demisting and defrosting the
windows V
● Press V. The LED in the button
illuminates to indicate activation.
● Temperature and air distribution are set automatically and the fan
runs at high speed.
● Switch on heated rear window Ü.
● To return to previous mode: press V. To return to automatic
mode: press AUTO.
Setting of automatic rear window
heating can be changed in the
Settings menu in the Info-Display.

Note
If V is pressed while the engine is
running, an Autostop will be inhibited
until V is pressed again.
If l is pressed with the fan switched
on and the engine running, an
Autostop will be inhibited until l is
pressed again or until the fan is
switched off.If V is pressed while the engine is
in an Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.
If l is pressed with the fan switched
on while the engine is in an
Autostop, the engine will restart
automatically.

Air vents for rear passenger are left
and right side behind the front seats.
9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Fixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door windows and in the foot wells.
Maintenance
Air intake
The air intake in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering the vehicle through the air
intake.
Air conditioning regular
operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service For optimal cooling performance, it is recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

Refrigerant R-134a contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases.

removed or driver's door is
opened, provided the ignition was
on previously1:accessory power mode: Steering wheel lock released, some
electrical functions are operable,
ignition is off2:ignition on power mode: Ignition
is on, diesel engine is preheating.
Control indicators illuminate and
most electrical functions are
operable3:engine start: Release key after
starting procedure beginsSteering wheel lock
Remove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.9 Danger
Never remove the key from
ignition switch during driving as
this will cause steering wheel lock.
Retained power off
The following electronic systems can
work until the driver's door is opened
or for ten minutes after the ignition is
switched off:
● power windows
● power outlets
Starting the engine
Turn key to position 1 to release the
steering wheel lock.
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Automatic transmission: operate
brake pedal and move selector lever
to P or N.
Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Diesel engines: turn the key to
position 2 for preheating and wait until
control indicator ! extinguishes.
