■ Fault and information messages
Fuel used
Displays the amount of fuel
consumed since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time by pressing and holding the
button.
Average consumption
The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
Average consumption is displayed,
taking into consideration the distance
travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 20 mph.
Range The value is displayed after driving adistance of 0.25 miles.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
The range will not display if control
indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 73.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Distance travelled Displays the distance driven since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Average speed The value is displayed after driving adistance of 0.25 miles.The average speed since the last
reset is displayed.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Interruptions in the journey with the
ignition off are not included in the
calculations.
Reset trip computer information
To reset the trip computer, select one
of its functions then press and hold
the button on the end of the wiper
lever.
The following trip computer
information will be reset:
■ Fuel used
■ Average consumption
■ Range
■ Distance travelled

The trip computer will reset
automatically when the maximum
value of any of the parameters is
exceeded.

94Driving and operatingStarting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
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 and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often.

Driving and operating109
Permanent deactivation
Permanently deactivate the system
by pressing and holding the E button
on the instrument panel for approx. 3 seconds with the ignition on and
reverse gear engaged. The system is deactivated and will not operate.
When reverse gear is selected no
acoustic signal will sound, indicating
deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing and holding button E for
approx. 3 seconds.
Fault
If the system detects an operating
fault, a continuous acoustic alarm will sound for approx. 5 seconds whenselecting reverse gear. Consult a
workshop to have the cause of the
fault remedied.Caution
When reversing, the area should
be free from obstacles which could
impact on the underside of the
vehicle.
Impact to the rear axle, which may
not be visible, could lead to
uncharacteristic changes in the
vehicle handling. In the event of
such an impact, consult a
workshop.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 fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 154. 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.

Driving and operating111
To unlock and open the fuel filler cap,insert key and turn anticlockwise.
When refuelling is complete, replace
the filler cap and turn key clockwise
as far as it will go.
Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
Fault
Should an interruption to the power supply occur, central locking will not
unlock the fuel filler flap. In such
cases release manually.
To open
■ Reposition left front seat to access the release cover.
■ Remove the release cover and position the seat belt to one side.
■ Raise fuel filler release to unlock the fuel filler flap.
To close ■ Close the fuel filler flap and lower fuel filler release to lock the fuel
filler flap.
■ Replace the release cover.
■ Reposition left front seat.
If the cause of the interruption to the
power supply is not a discharged
vehicle battery, consult a workshop.
Fuel consumption - CO 2-
Emissions
The fuel consumption (combined) of
the Vauxhall Vivaro is within a range
of 35 to 43 mpg.
The CO 2 emission (combined) is
within a range of 210 to 171 g/km.

112Driving and operating
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.Trailer hitch
General information
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. Only use
towing equipment that has been
approved for your vehicle.
Driving characteristics and
towing tips
In the case of trailers with brakes,
attach the breakaway stopping cable.
Before attaching a trailer, lubricatethe 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 the use of a
stabiliser is recommended.
A maximum speed of 50 mph must
not be exceeded, even in countries
where higher speeds are permitted.
