Instruments and controls89
Submenus are:
■Shift indication : Current gear is
indicated inside an arrow. The
figure above recommends
upshifting for fuel saving reasons.
Eco index display : The current fuel
consumption is indicated on a segment display. For economical
driving, adapt your driving style to
keep the filled segments within the
Eco area. The more segments are
filled, the higher the fuel
consumption. Simultaneously the
current consumption value is
indicated.
■ Top Consumers : List of top comfort
consumers currently switched on is displayed in descending order. Fuel
saving potential is indicated. A
switched-off consumer disappears from the list and the consumption
value will be updated.■ Economy Trend : Displays the
average consumption development
over a distance of 50 miles. Filled
segments display the consumption
in 5 mile steps and shows the effect of topography or driving behaviour
on fuel consumption.

Trip computer 1 and 2 The information of two trip computerscan be reset separately for odometer,
average consumption and average
speed by pressing the SET/CLR
button, making it possible to display
different trip information for different
drivers.Trip odometer
Trip odometer displays the recorded
distance since a certain reset.
Trip odometer counts up to a distance
of 2,000 miles and then restarts at 0.
To reset, press the SET/CLR button
for a few seconds.
Fuel range Range is calculated from current fuel
tank content and current
consumption. The display shows
average values.
After refuelling, the range is updated
automatically after a brief delay.
When the fuel level in the tank is low,
a message appears on vehicles with
Uplevel-Display.
When the tank must be refuelled
immediately, a warning code or
warning message is displayed on
vehicles with Midlevel- and Uplevel-
Display.
Additionally the control indicator Y in
the fuel gauge illuminates or flashes
3 85.
Fuel range LPG version
Display of approximate fuel range
available with the remaining fuel in
each respective fuel tank of gasoline
and LPG fuel, along with a total range
of both fuel types together. Switch
between the mode by pressing SET/
CLR button.
Average consumption
Display of average consumption. The measurement can be reset at any
time and starts with a default value.
To reset, press the SET/CLR button
for a few seconds.

Control of the vehicleNever coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 120.
Idle boost If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator has to
be increased. This will be achieved by
an idle boost which may be audible.
On vehicles with Uplevel-Display, a
message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher. Autostop may be inhibited to
allow for charging the vehicle battery.

Driving and operating143Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 201. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly
increases fuel consumption.Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and may affect
your warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
Fuel for liquid gas
operation Liquid gas is known as LPG
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under
its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole Liquéfié). LPG is also known as
Autogas.
LPG consists mainly of propane and
butane. The octane rating is between
105 and 115, depending on the
butane proportion. LPG is stored
liquid at around 5 - 10 bar pressure.
The boiling point depends on the
pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient
pressure, it is between -42 °C (pure
propane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).Caution
The system works at an ambient
temperature of approx. -8 °C to
100 °C.
Full function of the LPG system can
only be guaranteed with liquid gas
which complies with the minimum
requirements of DIN EN 589.

Only use genuine fuel filler caps.
Fuel consumption - CO 2-
Emissions The fuel consumption (combined) of
the model Vauxhall Adam is within a
range of 57 to 51 mpg.
The CO 2 emission (combined) is
within a range of 130 to 118 g/km.
For the values specific for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.General information
The official fuel consumption and
specific CO 2 emission figures quoted
relate to the EU base model with
standard equipment.
Fuel consumption data and CO 2
emission data are determined
according to regulation R (EC)
No. 715/2007 (in the latest applicable version), taking into consideration the
vehicle weight in running order, as
specified by the regulation.
The figures are provided only for the
purpose of comparison between
different vehicle variants and must
not be taken as a guarantee for the
actual fuel consumption of a
particular vehicle. Additional
equipment may result in slightly
higher results than the stated
consumption and CO 2 figures.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is
dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic conditions.

Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel. This also applies to vehicles
with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure 3 206.
The tyre and loading information label on the right door frame indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify drive axle and body style.
2. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 201.
3. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 206.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
