Advice when parking:

z Do not park vehicle on easily ignitable

surfaces, since the hot exhaust system
temperatures could cause the surface to
ignite.

z Closing windows and sun roof 3.
z Always apply the hand brake fully,

raising the armrest 3 when doing so.
When parking on an incline, pull the
hand brake as far as it will go. To reduce
operating forces, depress the foot brake
at the same time.

z Before switching off ignition: with

manual transmission, engage first or
reverse gear; with automatic
transmission 3, selector lever in P; with
Easytronic 3 engage first or reverse gear
(note gear indicator – see page 171).

z On vehicles with Easytronic 3 control

indicator R flashes for a few seconds
after the ignition is switched off if the
hand brake has not been applied
– see page 175.

z In vehicles with automatic

transmission 3 the key can only be
removed when the selector lever is in
position P.

z Remove ignition key.
z Turn steering wheel until lock is felt to

engage (anti-theft protection).

z The engine cooling fans may run after

the engine has been switched off

26 In Brief

Vauxhall Full Size airbag system

The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system
comprises several individual systems.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system will be 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 Airbag systems 3 – see page 112.

27In Brief

Active head restraints 3 at front
seats

In the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints automatically tilt
forwards. The head is more effectively
supported by the head restraint and the
risk of injuries caused by whiplash in the
neck area is reduced.

Active head restraints are identified by the
lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint
guide sleeves.

Operating menus in the
information display 3

Menu options are selected using menus
and using the buttons/four-way button or
the multifunction button of the
Infotainment system 3 or the left-hand
adjuster wheel 3 on the steering wheel.
The respective menu options are shown on
the display.

Selection using four-way button:
press four-way button at top, bottom, left
or right.

Selection using multifunction button: rotate
and press multifunction button.

To exit a menu, turn the multifunction
button left or right to Return or Main and
select.

The functions of the Infotainment system 3
and the information display can be
operated using the buttons on the steering
wheel.

Further information is available in the
infotainment system operating
instructions.

Twin Audio 3

Twin Audio allows rear seat occupants the
choice between the audio source played on
the infotainment system or a separate
audio source.

Only an audio source that is not currently
active on the infotainment system can be
controlled using Twin Audio.

Two headphone connections are available,
with separate volume controls.

Further information is available in the
infotainment system operating
instructions.

Parking distance sensor 3

When reverse gear is selected, the parking
distance sensor switches itself on
automatically.

The parking distance sensor can also be
activated at speeds of less than 15 mph
(25 km/h) by pressing the
the instrument panel.

If the vehicle approaches an obstacle to
the front or rear, an series of signals is
sounded 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.

SPORT mode 3

To activate

Press the SPORT button. The LED in the
button illuminates.

SPORT mode is used to change
damping 3, steering 3, throttle
application and the shifting times and
shifting points for Easytronic 3 and
automatic transmission 3 while driving.

Damping and steering become more direct
and provide better contact with the road
surface. The engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator movements.

With Easytronic 3 and automatic
transmission 3, the shift times are
shortened and shifting takes place at
higher revs (not with cruise control
enabled 3).

6 Further information – see page 200.

Tyre pressure monitoring
system 3

The tyre pressure monitoring system
continuously monitors the pressure of all
four tyres while the vehicle is being driven.

A pressure sensor is installed in each wheel.
The inflation pressures of the individual
tyres are transmitted to a controller, where
they are compared.

The current tyre pressures can be
displayed on the graphical information
display or the colour information display 3.

Deviating tyre pressures are displayed in
the form of messages on the information
display whilst driving.

Mobile telephones and radio
equipment 3

The Vauxhall installation instructions and
the operating guidelines provided by the
telephone manufacturer must be observed
when fitting and operating a mobile
telephone. Failure to do so could invalidate
the vehicle’s operating permit (EU Directive
95/54/EG).

Recommended prerequisites for fault-free
operation:

z Professionally installed exterior antenna

to obtain the maximum range possible,

z maximum transmission power 10 Watt,
z installation of the telephone in a suitable

spot (see information on page 120).

Obtain advice on predetermined
installation locations for the external
antenna and equipment holder and ways
of using devices with transmission power of
more than 10 Watts. We recommend that
you consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer, who will have brackets and
various installation kits available as
accessories and will install them in
accordance with regulations.

A hands-free attachment without an
external antenna in mobile phone
standards GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS
must only be operated if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile phone
does not exceed 2 Watts with GSM 900 and
1 Watt in other cases. The operating
regulations stipulated by the manufacturer
of the telephone and the hands-free
attachment must be complied with.

For reasons of safety, we recommend that
you do not use the phone while driving.
Even use of a handsfree set can be a
distraction while driving. Be sure to observe
any country-specific regulations.

9 Warning

Mobile phones and radio equipment may
cause malfunctions in the vehicle
electronics if they are operated in the
vehicle without the external antenna
unless the above-mentioned regulations
are complied with.

Mobile phones that do not comply with
the above-mentioned mobile phone
standard and radio equipment must only
be operated using an antenna that is
attached to the exterior of the vehicle.

transmitters can also continue to be used.

If after repeatedly performing the above
steps a system fails to respond to the
universal radio control, consult a workshop.
We recommend that you consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

During programming, the vehicle should be
within the range of the receiver. Under no
circumstances should the vehicle be in the
movement zone of a system (e.g. garage
door).

Do not programme an system without an
automatic safety stop (manufactured
