General information
The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
The radio has nine automatic station
memories for each waveband: FM,
AM and DAB (if available).
The digital sound processor provides
you with several preset equalizer
modes for sound optimisation.
The integrated CD player will
entertain you with audio CDs and
MP3 CDs.
The on-board computer can be
accessed from the Infotainment
System. For details please consult
the Owner’s Manual for your car.
Furthermore, you can connect an
external source, such as a mobile
phone to the Infotainment system.
An audio source connected to the
AUX input of your vehicle, e.g. a
portable CD player or an MP3 player
can be played back via the
loudspeakers in the Infotainment
system.
In addition the Infotainment system
can be equipped with a Mobile phone
portal.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using controls on the
steering wheel.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements and the clear
displays enable you to control the
system easily and intuitively.
Note
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those
for display and menu functions, may
not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.
Introduction 5
Important information on
operation and traffic safety
9 Warning
The Infotainment system has to be
used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in doubt
stop your vehicle and operate the
Infotainment system while the
vehicle is stationary.
Radio reception
Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to
■ changes in distance from the
transmitter,
■ multi-path reception due to
reflection,
■ shadowing.
Theft-deterrent feature
The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrent.
The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless for a thief.

■ Traffic announcements and
external audio sources are inserted

other audio sources (e.g. radio)
3 12.
■ If the respective source is enabled,
the volume of the traffic
announcements, the external audio
sources and the radio and CD can
be adjusted separately.
Speed dependent volume control
(SDVC)
When SDVC is activated 3 12, the
volume is adapted automatically to
make up for the road and wind noise
when driving.
External source
An external source, e.g. a mobile
phone or a navigation system, can be
connected to the Infotainment
system.
The external source is automatically
transferred through via a control
signal from the device connected,
even when the Infotainment system is
off. In this case External In is
displayed.
We recommend having appliances
installed by a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
AUX input
An external audio source, e.g. a
portable CD player, can be connected
via the AUX input of your vehicle.
Stereo sound from this source is
played back via the loudspeakers of
the Infotainment system.
The connector is located in the area
of the centre console.
Always ensure that the AUX input
remains clean and dry.
For the best possible audio quality,
the external audio source should be
set to maximum volume. On units with
line-out, the output signal is available
at a fixed audio level and cannot be
changed.
Introduction 11
To avoid overriding the AUX input, the
effective output voltage of the
external audio source must be lower
than 1.5 V.
