Trip Menu
Trip computer is located in Driver
Information Centre (DIC).
It provides the driver with driving
information such as average speed,
driving distance for remaining fuel,
average consumption and
driving time.
To operate the trip computer, turn
the adjuster wheel in indicator lever.
Each time you turn the adjuster
wheel, the mode changes in the
following order:
Trip Odometer—> Total Fuel Range
—> Average Vehicle Speed—>
Instantaneous Fuel Economy—>
Average Fuel Economy—> Timer
Some modes can be reset by
pressing SET/CLR.
Average speed
This mode indicates the average
speed.
The average speed is accumulated
while the engine is running even the
vehicle is not driven.
To reset the average speed, press
SET/CLR.

Driving distance for
remaining fuel
This mode indicates the estimated
driving distance to empty from the
current fuel in the fuel tank.
If you fill the fuel when the vehicle is
in inclined situations or a battery is
disconnected, trip computer cannot
read the actual value.
Note:As an auxiliary device, the
trip computer may have differences
with the actual distance for
remaining fuel according to
circumstances. The driving distance for remaining
fuel can be changed by the driver,
the road, and the vehicle speed
because it is calculated according to
the changing fuel efficiency.
Average consumption
This mode indicates the average
consumption.
The average consumption is
accumulated while the engine is
running even the vehicle is not
driven.
Driving time
This mode indicates the total
driving time.
The driving time is accumulated
since the last driving time reset
even when the vehicle is not driven.
To stop or start the driving time,
press
SET/CLR.
To reset the driving time, press SET/
CLR for a few seconds.
Note: The average speed, driving
distance for remaining fuel, average
consumption can differ from the

If the number 98 is displayed, it
means 98% of the current oil life
remains.
When the remaining oil life is low,
the vehicle message will appear in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC).
The engine oil should be changed
as soon as possible.
After engine oil change, the engine
oil life system must be reset. To

Driving Information
Control of a Vehicle
Never 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.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to vehicle battery
condition, the power output of the
alternator must be increased. This
will be achieved by an idle boost
which may be audible.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats
in the area of the pedals.

Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to
a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered but may require a
higher or lower steering effort.
Control indicator
mVariable Effort
Steering Light 072.
Caution
Vehicle equipped with electric
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned
until it reaches the end of its
travel and is held against that
position for an extended period of
time, power steering assist may
be reduced.
If the steering assistance is used
for an extended period of time,
power assistance may be
reduced.
Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
Starting and
Operating
New Vehicle Run-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.

Fuel
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 fulfils these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10% bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating
0Engine Data0207.
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 loss of
warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
Filling the Tank
{Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
engine and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.

Fuel Consumption -
CO2-Emissions
The fuel consumption (combined) of
the model Opel Karl is within a
range of to 52 to 58 mpg.
The CO
2emission (combined) is
within a range of 104 to 99 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 CO2emission 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 version
respectively applicable), 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
2figures.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is
dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic
conditions.

Directional tyres
Directional tyres must be mounted
so that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
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 pressure0Tyre
Pressure 0209.
The tyre pressure information label
on the left door frame indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the lowest 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 the engine identifier code.
0Engine Data 0207.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations
0Tyre
Pressure 0209 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.
{Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre
warmup and internal damage,
leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high
speeds.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
After adjusting tyre pressure switch
on ignition and select the according
setting on the page Tyre load in the
Driver Information Centre,
