Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Tyres
Tyres of size 225/45 R 17 are only permitted if the vehicle is equipped
with electronic stability program.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.Tyres of size 195/65 R 15,
195/60 R 16, 205/55 R 16 and
225/45 R 17 can be used as winter
tyres.
Tyres of size 205/50 R 17 must only
be used as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 225/40 R 18 1)
,
225/40 ZR 18 and 235/35 R 19 must not be used as winter tyres.
Winter tyres may only be used on the
Zafira VXR on special alloy wheels
approved by Vauxhall.
Run-flat winter tyres may only be
used on factory approved alloy
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.
Run-flat tyres Run-flat tyres have reinforced, self-
supporting sidewalls, which ensure
that the tyres always have a certain
amount of driveability, even when
there is no pressure.1) Zafira VXR: Permitted as winter tyres without tyre chains.

176Vehicle careTread 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).
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogram the
speedometer and make other vehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
Remove the wheel covers if tyre
chains are to be installed.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.

Vehicle care177Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of
size 195/65 R 15, 195/60 R 16,
205/55 R16, 205/50 R 17 and
225/45 R17.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR 18
and 235/35 R 19.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit

repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is near the rim cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be

repaired.
Spare wheel The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.Use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or together with
winter tyres could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre replaced as
soon as possible.
The spare wheel is kept beneath the
vehicle.
