Zafi ra’s design themes move effortlessly from outside to
inside with a driver-friendly facia and high quality interior
fi nishes throughout. And while it’s easy for the driver to get
comfortable, this is a car designed to make travel easy for
the whole family. So it’s light and spacious, comfortable

We all share a responsibility to look after our world. That’s why Opel has always been
at the forefront of green automotive initiatives. Most recently, we are looking at ways
to further reduce vehicle CO2 emissions and working on even cleaner, alternative power
sources, including zero-emission fuel cell technology.

But our commitment to preserving the environment goes even further. We have
dramatically reduced manufacturing emissions, for example, and our new vehicles
use more recycled materials and more recyclable parts than ever before. We also
offer free and easily accessible, environmentally friendly, end-of-life vehicle disposal.

That way, we reduce our environmental impact in every phase of every vehicle’s life cycle.
Because your world is our world, too.

your world.

Petrol engines. Zafira’s 115PS 1.6i 16v
and 140PS 1.8i 16v VVT engines use
Double Continuous Variable Cam
Phasing (DCVCP), to provide most
of the available torque across a wide
rev band. The result? More power and
lower fuel consumption. The 2.0i 16v
Turbo makes Zafira one of the only
compact MPVs with 200PS on tap. And
the all-aluminium, 150PS 2.2i 16v Direct
uses direct petrol injection for
outstanding fuel economy, flexibility
and refinement.

CDTi diesels. That’s ‘CD’ for common
rail diesel technology, ‘T’ for
turbocharged and ‘i’ for fuel injected.
Put them all together and you’ve got
the most up-to-date diesel technology
around. All Zafira engines are CDTi,
providing serious diesel performance
and economy and tough emissions
control. Choose from a 1.7CDTi 125PS
engine or two 1.9CDTi diesels – one
rated at 120PS, the other at 150PS.

Life is better on the move

Think Zafira. Think advanced engine and chassis technology. Four petrol engines and three common
rail turbo diesels – all brilliantly efficient with an impressive spread of power. And out on the road,
a reassuring sense of control, helping you feel relaxed and secure under any conditions.

T21073 Opel Zafira.indd 14T21073 Opel Zafira.indd 14 31/10/08 11:09:3531/10/08 11:09:35

Driving dynamics

Interactive Driving System (IDS-plus).

This optional system senses changes in
the vehicle dynamics and automatically
adjusts the damper rates – in real time.
The result is confident cornering and
sharper handling with reduced body
roll. Pretty smart for seven-seater
compact MPV. For further information
please see page 39.

Sport switch. Sports performance
to suit your mood. Hit the optional Sport
switch and you get a sharper throttle
and more responsive steering. With
optional IDS-plus you also get sportier
chassis dynamics with more body
control. It also controls the automatic
transmission’s Sport mode. For further
information please see page 39.

Easytronic transmission. Choose
the optional Easytronic transmission
and you’ll get a five-speed manual
gearbox with a fully automatic mode.
In manual mode, you simply push the
lever forward or back to shift gears
up or down. The facia display tells
you what gear you’re in – 1 to 5, N for
Neutral or A for Auto. Switch to fully
automatic mode and it has many of
the features of a regular automatic
including a kickdown function. There’s
no clutch pedal so you can drive it on
an automatic-only driving licence.

ESP-plus. Especially useful on
wet roundabouts and greasy roads or
whenever a slippery surface catches
you out, the optional Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP-plus), senses if the car
starts to slide on a bend and applies
corrective braking to the appropriate
wheels to help you regain control. For
further information please see page 38.

Six-speed. Zafira comes with
a six-speed manual gearbox as
standard on all 2.2i 16v, 1.7CDTi and

1.9CDTi 150PS engines. Others come
with a five-speed manual as standard,
with four- and six-speed automatic
and five-speed Easytronic transmission
options also available at extra cost.

Automatic transmission. The
electronically-controlled, six-speed
automatic has an adaptive driving
function and a Winter mode, which
selects third gear for standing starts in
slippery conditions. It’s available on both

1.9CDTi diesels. A four-speed automatic
is available on 2.2i 16v Direct models.

T21073 Opel Zafira.indd 15T21073 Opel Zafira.indd 15 31/10/08 11:09:3731/10/08 11:09:37

Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL).

The optional lighting system swivels
the headlight beams up to 15 degrees
for improved vision as you turn a
corner. Above 105 km/h, it raises the
dipped headlight beam slightly, also
to increase safety – returning to
normal beam automatically as speed
is reduced. Turn to page 39 for more
detailed information.

Intelligent, reassuring safety and security

Zafira has a strong reputation for safety and security, and with good reason. Every model has a five star
EuroNCAP adult occupant safety rating, with six full-size airbags and a chassis that is packed with active
safety innovations that help you avoid accidents before they happen. Security features include remote
control central locking.

Safety and security

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). On its

own, ABS is a huge benefit in emergency
braking, but Zafira goes even further.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and
Cornering Brake Control (CBC) all make
the car easier to control and stop under
extreme cornering and braking.

Six airbags. Zafira now protects
you and your family with six full-size
airbags as standard on every model.
Specially developed to provide
maximum protection, every model has
twin front airbags, enlarged ‘thorax­pelvis’ front seat side-impact airbags
and full-size curtain airbags too.

Remote control alarm system.

Standard on SRi and OPC, the
ultrasonic security alarm system
features forced entry detection, along
with tilt, movement and rear glass
breakage sensors, plus a power siren
complete with its own power supply.

ISOFIX Child Seat Restraint System.

The rigid ISOFIX anchoring mechanism
virtually eliminates the dangers of
incorrect child seat installation. You
simply click the accessory Opel ISOFIX
child seat into the mounting points
engineered into the Zafira outer rear
second-row seats.

T21073 Opel Zafira.indd 17T21073 Opel Zafira.indd 17 31/10/08 11:09:4131/10/08 11:09:41

Keeping everybody happy

Zafira’s Flex7® seating. It’s not just about quantity. It’s about quality too, making everyone feel comfortable
– front and rear. Wherever you’re sitting, you’ll be amazed at what Zafira has to offer, whether it’s features
like air conditioning and rear seat audio or clever storage space for all your bits and bobs.

Versatile load space.

When you’re not using Zafira’s third
row seats, there’s no need to remove
them completely. Each one folds down
separately, flush with the load floor. Add
the optional FlexOrganiser

®

Pack, and
you’ve got the smartest, most versatile
way to manage your load area ever!

Interior features

Multi-function trip computer. Standard

on all models (except Life), this
invaluable driver information system
provides instantaneous and average
fuel consumption, fuel consumed,
average speed, distance travelled and
range based on fuel remaining.

Cruise control. The easy-to-use,
tap-up/tap-down cruise control allows
you to maintain a steady speed without
keeping your foot on the throttle. So
it’s more comfortable on long journeys
and easier to keep to speed limits too.
Standard on Elite and optional on most
other models, cruise control is also
included in the Technical Pack.

*Please contac t your local Opel deal er for
further information.

Mobile phone system with

®

*. With the optional mobile

phone system, your phone interfaces
with the audio unit, for operation via
the steering wheel controls and facia

is also available as part

of the Technical Pack.

Quality sounds. Every Zafira features
a quality stereo radio/CD player, with
steering wheel mounted audio controls
on many models. Optional systems add
MP3/CD format, user-friendly satellite
navigation with colour display, and
our independent rear seat Twin Audio

®

system, where the front and two second­row rear passengers can listen to the
radio or a CD independently and at the
same time. It comes with separate
second-row rear seat audio controls –
an on/off switch, independent volume
controls for each headset, switching
between CD and radio tuner and a scan
function. And it even mutes the rear
speakers when the headphones are in
use. Accessory headphone sets and
alternative earhook headphones are
also available.

Air conditioning. It makes for a fresher
interior atmosphere all year round,
with chilled air on hot days and faster
demisting when it’s damp. Move up
to Electronic Climate Control (ECC),
standard on Elite and optional on most
other models and you can maintain
the interior temperature to within a
single degree.

Satellite navigation. You’ll never get
lost with optional satellite navigation.
It can determine your precise location
and guide you to your destination by
the best and fastest route.

Having a family didn’t stop you having a life. You still ride, play, ski
or whatever it is that sets you free. And you still want to drive, not just
travel. What you need is a seven-seat performance car. Cue Zafira
OPC. Same compact MPV format. But a whole new shape. And a
whole new attitude. No other MPV looks this good. And no surprise,
this is one of the quickest production MPVs ever made. Enough said?

Excuses. A word that doesn’t figure in the Zafira OPC vocabulary. Make no mistake, this OPC features all the innovation
you’ve come to expect from a Zafira with added attitude. Like serious style, a six-speed gearbox, 18-inch alloy wheels
and lowered sports suspension. Then there’s that 2.0i 16v turbocharged engine. The same 240PS, 320Nm unit that you’ll
find in Astra OPC, Opel’s hottest ever hot hatch. The Zafira OPC. Expect no excuses.

Smarter driving tips

• Drive at an appropriate speed: –
Staying within the speed limit increases
driver safety, reduces CO

2

emissions
and saves fuel. At 115km/h you could
be using up to 9% more fuel than at
100km/h and up to 15% more fuel than
at 80km/h

• Drive smoothly at all times: – Anticipate
the ebb and fl ow of the traffi c to avoid
harsh acceleration and braking

• Reduce your revs: – Change gear earlier
to help reduce fuel consumption – try
2500rpm with petrol engines and
2000rpm with diesel

• Idling is wasting fuel: – If you’re likely
to be at a standstill for more than
three minutes, switch off the engine
to save fuel

• Regularly check your tyre pressures:
– Under infl ated tyres increase CO

2

emissions whilst over infl ated tyres
can be unsafe. Always check your
handbook for the correct tyre pressure.
This will also help to increase the life of
your tyres

• Remove unnecessary items from the
car: – Extra weight increases the
engine’s workload which in turn burns
more fuel and increases CO

* = On models fi tted with the optional Easytronic transmission the maximum towing weight for a trailer with brakes is 1300kg.
Gross vehicle weight is the total permissible weight of the vehicle including passengers and their luggage. To determine total carrying capacity, deduct kerbweight from gross

vehicle weight. The maximum roof rack loading should not exceed 75kg. The maximum towing weights are based on the ability of the car, with two occupants of 75kg each,
to restart on a 12% gradient, which is approximately 1 in 8.3, at sea level. At altitudes above 1500 metres, the engine output may drop with a corresponding reduction in towing
capability. Any extra weight, such as luggage or additional passengers, should be deducted from the maximum towing weight. With a trailer fully loaded, maximum noseweight
should not exceed 75kg. Always fi t Opel towing attachments and accessories available from your Opel dealer. They are designed specifi cally for Opel models and carry a 24-month
guarantee.

Technical data

Hill Start Assist
D1. Hill Start Assist maintains the brake pressure for up to 1.5 seconds after the

brake pedal has been released when pulling away on a gradient of 5% or more;
this helps prevent the vehicle from rolling back should the driver release the brake
pedal before fi rst applying the handbrake. The pressure is released as soon as the
driver presses the accelerator and the car begins to move forward.

Electronic Stability Programme-plus (ESP-plus)
D2. ESP-plus provides enhanced yaw compensation during understeer or oversteer.

It works by monitoring the front and rear of the car and comparing their respective
directions of travel with the input through the steering wheel. If the vehicle star ts
to slide, ESP-plus applies corrective braking to the appropriate wheel, or wheels,
compensating for the slide and helping you regain control more rapidly. ESP-plus
offers additional safety in the form of two-way traction control, which helps prevent
the driving wheels from spinning, under acceleration, on slippery surfaces.

Keyless entry and start
D3. Available as an option, the keyless entry and start system means that the driver

need never remove their key fob from their pocket. When approaching the car,
sensors in the front door handles and rear bumper

1

detect the driver’s proximity

and automatically unlock the doors or boot when the handle is pulled.

When in the car, two internal sensors

2

activate the ignition and release the
electronic steering lock, enabling the driver to start or stop the engine by pressing
the dashboard-mounted Start/Stop button. As an added safety feature, the engine
will only start if the driver presses the foot brake while pushing the Start/Stop button.

Upon leaving the vehicle, the driver can lock it by either pressing a button on the
key fob like a conventional system, or by simply touching one of the sensors on the
external handles of the front doors.

Additionally the system offers excellent theft protection by its use of sophisticated
cryptographic algorithms, while a back-up key is also included for emergency use.

Technical data

IDS-plus with Continuous Damping Control (CDC)
D4. The Interactive Driving System (IDS-plus) chassis – available on SRi models –

offers the Zafi ra driver an even more sporting driving experience, thanks mainly
to the electronic control of the suspension. Pressing the Sport switch activates the
CDC function – CDC monitors the roll, pitch and yaw of the car, and changes the
rate of damping on each wheel to optimise the handling, selectively stiffening the
suspension. This means the vehicle will exhibit a reduced rate of roll and pitch,
making it more responsive during direction changes and more settled during the
braking/turn-in/acceleration transition when cornering.

Zafi ra OPC models are fi tted with a revised version of IDS-plus, called IDS

2

-plus, as
standard. Specifi cally developed for OPC models, IDS2-plus offers an even greater
level of control for enthusiastic drivers by continuously adjusting the performance of
the suspension.

Sport switch
D5. The Sport switch, standard on Design/Elite 2.2i 16v Direct/1.9CDTi 16v (150PS)

and all SRi and OPC models, improves the responses of both the steering and
throttle, giving the driver sharper initial throttle response and crisper turn-in when
cornering. On vehicles fi tted with automatic transmission, the Sport switch also
controls the transmission Sport mode.

Bi-xenon Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL)

Adaptive Forward Lighting is a sophisticated new lighting system that allows
drivers to see around corners. AFL utilises powerful bi-xenon headlights – which
offer up to three times more light output than conventional halogen headlights
– to enable the full benefi t of the system’s advantages to be appreciated. While
standard xenon headlights provide only dipped beam lighting (main beam
illumination still uses conventional halogen lights), bi-xenon units provide both
dipped and main beam from a single lighting unit. The package is completed
by high-pressure headlight washers and dynamic beam levelling.

Curve light
D6. Controlled by a combination of steering wheel movement and sensors for the

vehicle’s speed and yaw angle, the Curve light function allows the headlight beam
to move up to 15 degrees left or right of the straight ahead position. This ensures
the light is always following the trajectory plotted by the front wheels, rather than
