58StorageLoad compartmentRear storage
Roof bars
Do not exceed the maximum load
(which includes the weight of the bars) of 25 kg. Always distribute the
load evenly on the roof bars. The load must not obstruct complete closure ofthe doors.
Retighten the fastening screws on the
four brackets periodically.Caution
Do not use elastic lashings, e.g.
bungee cord. We recommend the
use of webbing straps.
Roof bars are designed to be fitted in
a specific position. Proper fastening
of the roof bars cannot be guaranteed if refitted in another position.
No materials (e.g. rubber, plastic)
should be placed between the feet of
the bars and the vehicle body, to
ensure proper fastening.
9 Warning
The use of roof bars may affect
steering and vehicle handling.
Removal
To remove the roof bars when not in use:
1. On one side of the vehicle, rotate handle below first roof bar
(located beneath the bracket) to
loosen, then slide handle inwards
towards centre of vehicle.
2. Repeat above step for the other side of the vehicle.
3. Push up roof bar to release from bracket on both sides and remove
roof bar completely.
4. Repeat above steps for the second roof bar.
5. Unfasten screws on the four brackets to remove the brackets
from the vehicle body.

Do not place any heavy or sharp-
edged objects on the extendable load
compartment cover.

Storage63● The load must not obstruct theoperation 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.9Warning
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 vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 170) 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).
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 75 mph.
The permissible roof load (which includes the weight of the roof
rack) is 100 kg. The roof load is
the combined weight of the roof
rack and the load.

Fuel filler cap
Only use genuine fuel filler caps.Diesel-engined vehicles have special
fuel filler caps.
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Resetting the fuel cut-off system;

Fuel consumption - CO
2-
Emissions The fuel consumption (combined) of
the Vauxhall Combo is within a range
of 37 to 60 mpg.
The CO 2 emission (combined) is
within a range of 179 to 124 g/km.
For the values specific to 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 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
fuel consumption and CO 2 figures.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic conditions.
Natural gas
The fuel consumption information
was obtained using reference fuel
G20 (methane proportion
99 - 100 mol%) under prescribed
driving conditions. When using
natural gas with a lower proportion of
methane, the fuel consumption can
differ from the specified values.

130Driving and operatingTrailer hitch
General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for your vehicle.
Vehicles with natural gas engine may
require special towing equipment.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Fitting of towing equipment could
cover the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the
coupling ball bar in the vehicle.
Driving characteristics and towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements.For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers with a permitted
gross vehicle weight of more than
1300 kg the use of a stabiliser is
strongly recommended when driving
above 50 mph.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 179.
Trailer towing
Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be
exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to max. 12%.
The permitted trailer load applies up
to the specified incline and up to an
altitude of 1000 metres above sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air
becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10% for every 1000 metres of additional
altitude. The gross train weight does
not have to be reduced when driving
on roads with slight inclines (less than
8%, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate
3 170.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
