Service work, maintenance
We recommend that you entrust all work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who can provide you with reliable service and correctly perform all work according to factory instructions.
6 If you have a problem– see page 194, service interval display – see page 196.
Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories
We recommend you use "Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories" and conversion parts released expressly for your vehicle type. These parts have undergone special tests to establish their reliability, safety and specific suitability for Vauxhall vehicles. Despite continuous market monitoring, we cannot assess or guarantee these attributes for other products, even if they have been granted approval by the relevant authorities or in some other form.
"Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories" and conversion parts approved by Vauxhall can be obtained from a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, of course. You will also be given comprehensive advice about permitted technical changes and correct installation will take place.
For your safety
Carry out regularly the checks recommended in the individual sections of this Owner’s Manual.
Ensure that your vehicle is serviced as specified in the Service Booklet. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Have faults remedied without delay! Consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. If necessary, interrupt your journey.
6 Maintenance – see pages 196 to 205
That was the most important information on your first drive in your Corsa / Combo.
The other pages of this chapter contain a description of some interesting functions in your vehicle.
The remaining chapters of the owner’s manual contain important information on operation, safety and maintenance and a full index.
25
Operating the Graphical Information Display 3
The functions are called up using the multifunction button.
The individual menu items are selected by turning and activated by pushing.
6 Further information – see page 37.

Vauxhall Full-Size airbag system
The Vauxhall Full-Size airbag system comprises several individual systems.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a frontal impact and forms safety cushions for the driver and front passenger. The forward movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head thereby substantially reduced.
Side airbag system 3
The side airbag system triggers when a side-on collision occurs and provides a safety barrier for the driver and/or passenger in the respective front door area. This reduces the risk of injury to the upper body considerably in case of a side impact.
Curtain airbag system 3
The curtain airbag system triggers in case of a side-on collision and provides a safety barrier in the head area on the respective side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of injury to the head considerably in case of a side-on collision.
6 Further information – see page 76.
Active head restraints 3
In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically tilt forward a little. The head is more effectively supported by the head restraint and the danger of injuries caused by hyperex tensio n in the ne ck area is reduced .
Active head restraints are identified by the lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint guide bushes.
Parking distance sensors 3
The parking distance sensors automatically switch on when reversing.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle when reversing, a series of signals can be heard in the vehicle interior. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 cm, the signal will be continuous.
6 Further information – see page 141.
27
ECOService-Flex
The oil change and service intervals are flexible, based on a number of different parameters and the conditions under which the vehicle is used. Various engine­specific data is continuously recorded and used to calculate the remaining distance until the next service is due.
This remaining distance can be shown on the speedometer display with the ignition off and the mileage odometer off: Press the actuating knob under the odometer, InsP and the remaining distance will be displayed.
28
With the specially developed engine oil for vehicles with ECOService-Flex and average driving conditions, the next engine oil change is due after a maximum of 2 years or 25,000 miles / 35,000 km (petrol engine) or after a maximum of 2 years or 30,000 miles / 50,000 km (diesel engine).
When topping up the oil, always use grade GM-LL-A-025 or GM-LL-B-025 in order to maintain the flexible maintenance intervals.
