26 In brief



Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Fuelconsumption may be higher duringthis period. The emission of smellsand smoke during this process is

normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannot

clean itself automatically.If the filter requires cleaning andprevious driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, controlindicator! flashes.

Child restraint systemsWe recommend the Opel childrestraint system which is tailored

specifically to the vehicle.When a child restraint system is beinused, pay attention to the followingusage and installation instructionsand also those supplied with the chilrestraint system.

Always comply with local or nationaregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.

Selecting the right systemThe rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system. Children shouldtravel facing rearwards in the vehicleas long as possible. This makes surthat the child's backbone, which is stivery weak, is under less strain in theevent of an accident.


Suitable are restraint systems thatcomply with ECE 44 03 or

NoteDo not stick anything on the child



comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Check local laws andregulations for mandatory use of childrestraint systems.

Never hold a child whilst travelling in

the vehicle. The child will become tooheavy to be held in the event of acollision.

When transporting children, use thechild restraint systems suitable for thechild's weight.

Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with thevehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.

Only allow children to enter and exitthe vehicle at the side facing awayfrom the traffic.

When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Do not stick anything on the childrestraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. This

process takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Fuel

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.

If the filter requires cleaning andprevious driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, controlindicator! flashes. Continue driving,keeping engine speed above 2000revolutions per minute. Shift down if

necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started.

Stopping the journey or switching off the engine during cleaning is notrecommended.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted more than once, thereis a great risk of provoking severeengine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol enginesOnly use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

Your engine is capable to run with

E10 fuel that fulfills these standards

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage and may affectyour warranty.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 590 or similar can lead toengine powerloss, increased wear or engine damage and may affectyour warranty.

D t i di l il h ti



E10 fuel that fulfills these standards.E10 fuel contains up to 10 %bioethanol.

Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating 3 202. Use of fuel withtoo low an octane rating can reduceengine power and torque and slightlyincreases fuel consumption.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additivesthat contain metallic compoundssuch as manganese-basedadditives. This may cause enginedamage.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octanerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

Fuel for diesel enginesOnly use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590.

In countries outside the EuropeanUnion use Euro-Diesel fuel with asulfur concentration below 50 ppm.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heatinoils, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels mustnot be diluted with fuels for petrolengines.

Fuel for natural gasoperationUse natural gas with a methanecontent of approx. 78 - 99 %. L-gas(low) has approx. 78 - 87 % and H-ga(high) has approx. 87 - 99 %. Biogaswith the same methane content canalso be used if it has been chemicallprepared and desulphurised.

Only use natural gas or biogas thatcomplies with DIN 51624.

Liquid gas or LPG must not be used

The permitted trailer load applies upto the specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the air

The maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (75 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.

Stowage of coupling ball bar



as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10 %for every 1000 metres of additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8 %, e. g. motorways).

The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 198.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing the

weight distribution when loading thetrailer.

Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by90 kg and the gross vehicle weightrating by 75 kg. If the permissible rear axle load is exceeded, a maximumspeed of 100 km/h applies.

specific data

Specifications in the vehicledocuments always have priority over those given in this manual.



The identification plate is located onthe front right door frame.

specific data

The combined total of front and rear axle loads must not exceed thepermissible gross vehicle weight. For example, if the front axle is bearing its

maximum permissible load, the rear axle can only bear a load that is equalto the gross vehicle weight minus thefront axle load.

The technical data is determined inaccordance with EuropeanCommunity standards. We reservethe right to make modifications.

■ Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stabilityregulation system)

■ Environmental conditions (e.g.temperature)

These data are exclusively technicaland help identifying and correctingerrors as well as optimizing vehicle

functions.Motion profiles indicating travelledroutes cannot be created with thesedata.

If services are used (e.g. repair k i t



condition of parts, modules, systemsor the environment:

■ Operating conditions of systemcomponents (e.g. filling levels)

■ Status messages of the vehicle andits single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotationalspeed, deceleration, lateralacceleration)

■ Dysfunctions and defects inimportant system components

works, service processes, warrantycases, quality assurance),employees of the service network(manufacturer included) are able to

read out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules applying special diagnosticdevices. If required, you will receivefurther information at theseworkshops. After an error has beencorrected, the data are deleted fromthe error storage module or they areconstantly overwritten.

Customer information 21

When using the vehicle, situationsmay occur in which these technicaldata related to other information(accident report, damages on thevehicle, witness statements etc.) maybe associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of anexpert.

Additional functions contractuallyagreed upon with the client (e.g.vehicle location in emergency cases)allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.
