Driving VAUXHALL INSIGNIA 2018 Owner's Manual

Vehicle care265Vehicle loading statusAdjust tyre pressure to load condition
according tyre information label or
tyre pressure chart 3 300, and select
the appropriate setting in the Tyre
loading page under the Settings
menu in the Driver Information Centre 3 112. This setting determines the
reference pressures for the tyre
pressure warnings.
Depending on the display, the menu
Tyre loading only appears if the
vehicle is at a standstill and the
parking brake is applied. On vehicles
with automatic transmission the
selector lever must be in P.Select:
● Light for comfort pressure up to
3 people.
● Eco for Eco pressure up to
3 people.
● Max for full loading.
Auto learn function After changing wheels or wheel
positions the vehicle must be
stationary for approx. 20 minutes,
before the system recalculates. The
following relearn process takes up to
10 minutes of driving in a speed range
of 25 to 60 mph. Avoid to drive outside
of this range for a longer time. If
possible, use a country road or similar which allows continuous driving.
During relearn process $ can be
displayed or pressure values can
swap in the Driver Information Centre.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, a failure message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. w will flash for 60 seconds
and then illuminate continuously.If this happens, repeat learning
process. Keep your vehicle stationary for approx. 20 minutes and then drive
again for 10 minutes as described
above.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons, it is
recommended that the tread depth of
the tyres on one axle should not vary
by more than 2 mm.

270Vehicle care9. The compressor pressure gaugebriefly indicates up to 6 bar whilstthe sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
10. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
11. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within
10 minutes. Tyre pressure
3 300 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, switch off the
compressor.
Do not run the compressor longer
than 10 minutes.
Type 1: if the tyre pressure is not
obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. Check tyre pressure
once more. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
If the pressure is obtained within
10 minutes, correct to the prescribed tyre pressure by using
the compressor to increase or
decrease with the button over the
pressure indicator.
Type 2: remove tyre repair kit and
drive immediately up to 6 miles,
but not longer than 10 minutes.
Check tyre pressure once more. If
the tyre pressure is not obtained,
reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for
10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
If the pressure is obtained, correct to the prescribed tyre pressure byusing the compressor to increase
or decrease by opening the air
release valve (turn anticlockwise)
at the air filler hose.
12. Detach the tyre repair kit. Type 1: push catch on bracket to
remove sealant bottle from
bracket. Screw tyre inflation hose
to the free connection of sealant
bottle. This prevents sealant from
escaping.
Type 2: Sealant bottle can not be
removed from the compressor.
Have the sealant bottle replaced
by your workshop.
13. Stow tyre repair kit in the load compartment.
14. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
15. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.
16. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.

Vehicle care2716 miles (but no more than10 minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve.
If tyre pressure is more than
1.3 bar , set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in the box.
18. Fix the box with the screw.
Notice
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre is severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30
minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of 7 bar.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.
Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C.
The adapters supplied can be used
to pump up other items e.g.
footballs, air mattresses, inflatable
dinghies etc. They are located on the
underside of the compressor. To
remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter.Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 267.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or
P .
● Remove the spare wheel 3 274.
● Never change more than one wheel at once.
● Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up.

lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids andlubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.

314Customer information● vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations ( e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system)
● environmental conditions (e.g. temperature)
These data are exclusively technical
and help identifying and correcting
errors as well as optimising vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with these
data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty
cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules applying special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive
further information at these
workshops. After an error has been
corrected, the data are deleted from
the error storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases)
allow the transmission of particular
vehicle data from the vehicle.Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some
vehicles for functions such as tyre
pressure monitoring and ignition
system security. It is also used in
connection with conveniences such
as radio remote controls and
electronic keys for door locking/
unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle
transmitters for garage door openers. RFID technology in Vauxhall vehicles
does not use or record personal
information or link with any other
Vauxhall system containing personal
information.
