brake light VAUXHALL ZAFIRA 2014.5 User Guide

148Driving and operating
For trailers with low driving stability
and trailers with a permitted gross
vehicle weight of more than 1300 kg a speed of 80 km/h must not be
exceeded; the use of a stabiliser is
recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 206.
Trailer towing Trailer loads
The permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be
exceeded. The actual trailer load is
the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to max. 12 %
The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an
altitude of 1000 metres above sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10 %
for every 1000 metres of additional
altitude. The gross train weight does
not have to be reduced when driving
on roads with slight inclines (less than 8 %, e. g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is
specified on the identification plate
3 198.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load (75 kg) is specified on
the towing equipment identification
plate and in the vehicle documents.
Always aim for the maximum load,
especially in the case of heavy
trailers. The vertical coupling load
should never fall below 25 kg.
Rear axle load When the trailer is coupled and the
towing vehicle fully loaded, the
permissible rear axle load (see
identification plate or vehicle
documents) may be exceeded by 90 kg and the gross vehicle weight
rating by 75 kg. If the permissible rear
axle load is exceeded, a maximum
speed of 100 km/h applies.
Towing equipmentCaution
When operating without a trailer,
remove the coupling ball bar.

Driving and operating151
Dismounting the coupling ball
bar
Open the protective flap and turn the
key to position c ( 1) to unlock the
coupling ball bar.
Pull out rotary handle and turn
clockwise as far as it will go. Pull out
coupling ball bar downwards.
Insert sealing plug in opening. Fold away socket.
Insert cover in bumper: Insert guides of cover into bumper, first in the front
and then in the rear and engage.
Compress cover in a slightly bent
position while doing so.
Trailer stability assist
If the system detects snaking
movements, engine power is reduced
and the vehicle/trailer combination is
selectively braked until the snaking ceases.
Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a
function of the electronic stability
program (ESP® Plus
) 3 140.

164Vehicle care
1. Compress wiring plug and pullfrom bulb holder.
2. Unscrew two plastic securing nuts
from the inside by hand.
3. Remove tail light assembly.
4. Disengage locking tabs and remove bulb holder.
5. Push bulb into socket slightly,rotate anti-clockwise, remove and
renew bulb.

Rear fog light, may be only on one side ( 3)
Reverse light ( 4)
6. Engage bulb holder into the tail light assembly. Connect wiring
plug. Install tail light assembly in
body and tighten securing nuts.
On the right side, fit the insert with
tyre repair kit. Engage side cover.
On the left side engage retainer of the load compartment cover.
7. After bulb replacement, check the
tail lights for proper functionality:
switch on the ignition, operate the brake, switch on the sidelights.

The fuse box is behind a cover. Press
the locking tabs forward and remove
the cover.
Do not store any objects behind the
cover.
Depending on the equipment, there
are two different fuse boxes.
Fuse box version A
To replace a fuse, remove the
relevant protective cap.

182Vehicle care
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
3 179.
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 3 184.■ 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.
■ 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.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the vehicle when it is raised on the jack.
■ Before screwing in the wheel bolts,
clean them and lightly coat thetaper of each wheel bolt with
commercially available grease.
1. Pull off the wheel cover with the hook. Vehicle tools 3 173.
For wheel covers with visible
wheel bolts: The cover can remain
on the wheel. Do not remove the
retaining rings on the wheel bolts.
Alloy wheels: Disengage wheel
bolt caps with a screwdriver and
remove. To protect the wheel,
place a soft cloth between the
screwdriver and the alloy wheel.
