24 In brief

Adaptive Forward Lighting

The system improves lighting of
curves and increases the headlight
range.

The beam pivots based on steering
wheel position and vehicle speed.

At higher speeds and continuous
straight ahead travel, the beam
automatically raises slightly, thereby
increasing headlight range.

Adaptive Forward Lighting 3 111.

Diesel particle filter

The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving. The filter
is cleaned by burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may
take up to 25 minutes. Fuel
consumption may be higher during
this period. The emission of smells
and 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 and
previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, control
indicator ! flashes.

■ Ignition.

Activation

The system is activated by pressing
p on the radio remote control or by
touching the sensor field in the front
door handle.

Note
Changes to the vehicle interior such
as the use of seat covers and open
windows, could impair the function
of passenger compartment
monitoring.

Activation without monitoring of passenger compartment and vehicle inclination

Switch off the monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle
inclination, when animals are being
left in the vehicle, because of high
volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm.
Switch off as well, when the vehicle is
on a ferry or train.

Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons
never use a forward-facing child
restraint system on the passenger
seat with an active front airbag.

9 Danger

Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.

The airbag label is located on both
sides of the front passenger sun visor.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel. These
can be identified by the word
AIRBAG.

The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be on.

Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then is the
airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

Seats, restraints 61

The forward movement of the front
seat occupants is decelerated,
thereby considerably reducing the
risk of injury to the upper body and
head.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position.

Seat position 3 45.
Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG.

The side airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be on.

The risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis in the event of a side-on
collision is considerably reduced.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

Note
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.
Be careful not to cover the airbags.

62 Seats, restraints

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillar.

The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be on.

The risk of injury to the head in the
event of a side impact is considerably
reduced.

The curtain airbag system does not
protect the third row of seats.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do
not keep any items in these
clothes.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend the Vauxhall child
restraint system which is tailored
specifically to the vehicle.

When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.

Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.

Airbag label 3 57.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.

Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.

Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.

Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.

Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.

Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.

■ mesh pockets,

■ hooks.
The components are fitted in two rails

in the side panels using adapters and
hooks. The partitioning net can also
be fitted directly in front of the tailgate.

Variable partition net

Insert an adapter into each rail: fold
open the handle plate, insert adapter
into upper and lower groove of rail
and move to required position. Turn
handle plate upwards to lock the
adapter. The rods of the net must be

Loading information

■ Heavy objects in the load
compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Ensure
the backrests are securely
engaged. If objects can be stacked,
the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.

■ Secure objects with lashing straps
attached to lashing eyes 3 72.

■ Secure loose objects in load
compartment to prevent sliding.

Storage 77

■ When transporting objects in the
load compartment, the backrests of
the second row must not be angled
forward.

■ Do not allow the load to protrude
above the upper edge of the
backrests.

■ Do not place any objects on the
load compartment cover or the
instrument panel.

■ The load must not obstruct the
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.

■ Do not drive with an open load
compartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.

■ The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 198) and the EC kerb
weight.

To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.

The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).

Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.

■ Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle’s higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and
vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.

Do not drive faster than 75 mph.

The permissible roof load is 75 kg
and 100 kg for vehicles with roof
railing. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
