slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Fixed Air Vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen and door
windows and in the foot wells.
These are fixed and cannot be
adjusted.
Maintenance

Passenger Compartment
Air Filter
Cabin air filtration
The particle filter cleans the cabin
air from solid particulates such as
pollen, dust, soot from the air. The
filter should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance.
Caution
More frequent maintenance of the
air filter is required if the driving
circumstances are dusty roads,
air pollution areas, and frequent
unpaved roads. It makes the filter
efficiency to be decreased and
the bronchus to be bad effected.

Vehicle Care 165
The vehicle battery is
maintenance-free provided that the
driving profile allows sufficient
charging of the battery.
Short-distance-driving and frequent
engine starts can discharge the
battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in
household waste. They must be
disposed of at an appropriate
recycling collection point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp
from the negative terminal of the
vehicle battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
Replacing the vehicle battery
Note:Any deviation from the
instructions given in this paragraph
may lead to a temporary
deactivation of the stop-start
system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area,
it must be closed off with a dummy
cap, and the ventilation in the
vicinity of the negative terminal must
be opened.
Only use vehicle batteries that allow
the fuse box to be mounted above
the vehicle battery.
In vehicles with stop-start system,
ensure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery replaced with an
AGM battery again.
An AGM battery can be identified by
the label on the battery. We
recommend the use of an original
Vauxhall vehicle battery.
Note: Using an AGM vehicle
battery different from the original
Vauxhall vehicle battery may result
in a lower performance of the
stop-start system.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle battery replaced by a
workshop. Stop-start system

Tyre Pressure Monitor
System
The tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) 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.
Note: In countries where the tyre
pressure monitoring system is
legally required, the use of wheels
without pressure sensors will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Vehicle Information
Menu in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC). The menu can be selected by the
buttons on the indicator lever.
Press the

g.
Turn the adjuster wheel to select the
tyre pressure monitoring system.
System status and pressure
warnings are displayed by a
message with the corresponding
tyre flashing in the DIC.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.

and Parts
Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not compliant with these
specifications will not be covered by
the warranty.
{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
ageing control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil
quality that provides optimum
protection for petrol and diesel
engines. If it is unavailable, engine
oils of other listed qualities have to
be used. Recommendations for
petrol engines are also valid for
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and
Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines.

Engine oils of different
manufacturers and brands can be
mixed as long as they comply with
the required engine oil quality and
viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only ACEA
A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause
longterm engine damage under
certain operating conditions.
