174Vehicle careTyre pressure monitoring
system The vehicle may be fitted with a tyrepressure monitoring system or a tyre
deflation detection system 3 175.Caution
Modifications made to the tyre
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) by anyone other than an
authorised service facility may
void authorisation to use the
system.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
checks the pressure of all four wheels once a minute when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.
Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure
condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
Winter tyres or additional wheel sets
have to be fitted with sensors,
otherwise the system will not work
and the control indicator A illuminates
continuously.
If A lights up, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 217.
After inflating, driving may be
required to extinguish A.
If A lights up at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an early indicator for getting low pressure. Check tyre
pressure.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tyre pressure controlindicator. If the system detects a
malfunction, the control indicator will
flash for approx. 1 minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start‐ups as long as the malfunction exists.
A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with a pressure sensor. The
tyre pressure monitoring system is
not operational for these wheels.
Control indicator A illuminates.
Operating electronic devices or being
near facilities using radio wave
frequencies similar to the tyre
pressure monitoring system could
cause the tyre pressure monitoring
system sensors to malfunction.
Tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the tyre pressure monitoring system fromfunctioning properly. Always check
the tyre pressure monitoring system
malfunction control indicator after
replacing one or more tyres or wheels

Lead connection order:1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery. The positive
terminal has a cover cap on it.
Undo the cap to access the
positive terminal.
3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the other end of the black
lead to a vehicle grounding point,
such as the engine block or an
engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged
battery as possible, however at
least 60 cm.
Position the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
To start the engine:
1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump.
2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be
made for no longer than
15 seconds at an interval of
1 minute.
3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads
connected.
4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear
window) of the vehicle receiving
the jump start.
5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.
6. Close the cover over the positive pole.

Vehicle care189Towing
Towing the vehicle
Insert a suitable screwdriver in the
slot at the lower bend of the cap.
Release the cap by carefully moving
the screwdriver downwards.
Corsa VXR: Disengage and remove
cap by pressing on the lower part of
the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 170 . The towing eye is
located in a recess.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering the vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Transmission in neutral.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
