Loading information

■ Heavy objects in the loadcompartment should be placedagainst the seat backrests. Ensurethe backrests are securelyengaged. If objects can be stacked,the heavier objects should beplaced at the bottom.

■ Secure objects with lashing strapsattached to lashing eyes 3 72.

■ Secure loose objects in loadcompartment to prevent sliding.

Storage 77

■ When transporting objects in theload compartment, the backrests ofthe second row must not be angledforward.

■ Do not allow the load to protrudeabove the upper edge of thebackrests.

■ Do not place any objects on theload compartment cover or theinstrument panel.

■ The load must not obstruct theoperation of the pedals, parkingbrake and gear selector, or hinderthe freedom of movement of thedriver. Do not place any unsecuredobjects in the interior.

■ Do not drive with an open loadcompartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load inthe vehicle is securely stowed.Otherwise objects can be thrownaround inside the vehicle andcause personal injury or damageto the load or car.

■ The payload is the differencebetween the permitted grossvehicle weight (see identificationplate 3 198) and the EC kerbweight.To calculate the payload, enter thedata for your vehicle in the Weightstable at the front of this manual.The EC kerb weight includesweights for the driver (68 kg),luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank90 % full).Optional equipment andaccessories increase the kerbweight.

■ Driving with a roof load increasesthe sensitivity of the vehicle tocross-winds and has a detrimentaleffect on vehicle handling due tothe vehicle’s higher centre ofgravity. Distribute the load evenlyand secure it properly with retainingstraps. Adjust the tyre pressure andvehicle speed according to the loadconditions. Check and retighten thestraps frequently.Do not drive faster than 75 mph.

The permissible roof load is 75 kgand 100 kg for vehicles with roofrailing. The roof load is thecombined weight of the roof rackand the load.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases containpoisonous carbon monoxide,which is colourless and odourlessand could be fatal if inhaled.If exhaust gases enter the interiorof the vehicle, open the windows.Have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop.Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving. The filteris cleaned by burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Fuel

consumption may be higher duringthis period. The emission of smellsand smoke during this process isnormal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If the filter requires cleaning andprevious driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, controlindicator ! flashes. Continue driving,keeping engine speed above 2000revolutions per minute. Shift down ifnecessary. Diesel particle filtercleaning is then started.

Stopping the journey or switching offthe engine during cleaning is notrecommended.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted more than once, thereis a great risk of provoking severeengine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.

Driving and operating 129

The control indicator ! extinguishesas soon as the self-cleaningoperation is complete.If A illuminates additionally, cleaningis not possible, seek the assistance ofa workshop.

Driving and operating 139

BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when you depress thebrake pedal firmly. You need to useconsiderably more force for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing your journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 89.

Antilock brake systemAntilock brake system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparent thougha pulse in the brake pedal and thenoise of the regulation process.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting off the system performsa self-test which may be audible.Control indicator u 3 89.

Adaptive brake lampDuring full braking, all three brakelamps flash for the duration of ABScontrol.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, thewheels may be liable to lock dueto braking that is heavier thannormal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.

Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.

Fuel consumption - CO2-EmissionsPetrol and Diesel enginesThe fuel consumption (combined) ofthe model Vauxhall Zafira is within arange of 39 to 55 mpg.The CO2 emission (combined) iswithin a range of 168 to 134 g/km.

Driving and operating 147

For the values specific to yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

General informationThe official fuel consumption andspecific CO2 emission figures quotedrelate to the EU base model withstandard equipment.Fuel consumption data and CO2emission data are determinedaccording to regulationR (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the latestapplicable version), taking intoconsideration the vehicle weight inrunning order, as specified by theregulation.The figures are provided only for thepurpose of comparison betweendifferent vehicle variants and mustnot be taken as a guarantee for theactual fuel consumption of aparticular vehicle. Additionalequipment may result in slightlyhigher results than the statedconsumption and CO2 figures.

Furthermore, fuel consumption isdependent on personal driving styleas well as road and traffic conditions.

Natural gasThe fuel consumption informationwas obtained using reference fuelG20 (methane proportion99 - 100 mol%) under prescribeddriving conditions. When usingnatural gas with a lower proportion ofmethane, the fuel consumption candiffer from the specified values.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case, use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle.Installation dimensions of factory-fitted towing equipment 3 209.

Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.

148 Driving and operating

For trailers with low driving stabilityand trailers with a permitted grossvehicle weight of more than 1300 kga speed of 50 mph must not beexceeded; the use of a stabiliser isrecommended.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 207.

Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.

The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to max. 12 %The permitted trailer load applies upto the specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10 %for every 1000 metres of additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8 %, e. g. motorways).The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 198.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing theweight distribution when loading thetrailer.

The maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (75 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by90 kg and the gross vehicle weightrating by 75 kg. If the permissible rearaxle load is exceeded, a maximumspeed of 62 mph applies.

TyresTyres of size 225/45 R 17 are onlypermitted if the vehicle is equippedwith electronic stability program.

Winter tyresWinter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.Tyres of size 195/65 R 15,195/60 R 16, 205/55 R 16 and225/45 R 17 can be used as wintertyres.

174 Vehicle care

Tyres of size 205/50 R 17 must onlybe used as winter tyres.Tyres of size 225/40 R 181),225/40 ZR 18 and 235/35 R 19 mustnot be used as winter tyres.Winter tyres may only be used on theZafira VXR on special alloy wheelsapproved by Vauxhall.Run-flat winter tyres may only beused on factory approved alloywheels.In accordance with country-specificregulations, affix the speed sticker inthe driver's field of view.

Run-flat tyresRun-flat tyres have reinforced, self-supporting sidewalls, which ensurethat the tyres always have a certainamount of driveability, even whenthere is no pressure.Run-flat tyres are only permitted onvehicles with electronic stabilityprogram and tyre pressure monitoringsystem or deflation detection system.

Caution

Check tyre pressures regularlyeven if run-flat tyres are fitted.

Depending on tyre manufacturer, run-flat tyres can be identified from amarking on the tyre wall. E.g.ROF = RunonFlat for Goodyear or

SSR = Self Supporting Runflat Tyrefor Continental.

Use of run-flat tyres is only permittedin combination with factory approvedalloy wheels.Do not use a tyre repair kit.The ECO tyre pressure must not beused.Run-flat tyres must not be combinedwith standard tyres.If converting to standard tyres, notethat the vehicle is not equipped with aspare wheel or tyre repair kit.

Driving with a damaged tyreA loss in tyre pressure is indicated bythe tyre pressure monitoring systemor the deflation detection system.If a tyre has no pressure, continueddriving is possible■ at a speed of max. 50 mph■ up to a distance of 50 miles

9 Warning

The vehicle will be more difficult tosteer and handle. Brakingdistance will be longer.Adapt driving style and speed tothe changed conditions.

Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey. Do not forget the sparewheel. This also applies to vehicleswith tyre pressure monitoring.

Remove the valve cap key from thefuel filler flap and use it to unscrew thevalve cap.

On vehicles with tyre pressuremonitoring system, screw the adapterto the valve.Tyre pressure 3 207 and on the labelon the inside of the fuel filler flap.The tyre pressure data refer to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.Always inflate the spare wheel to thepressure specified for full load.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible. It must not beused with run-flat tyres.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options. For the correct tyrepressure value, follow the procedurebelow:1. Identify drive axle and body style.2. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 202.3. Identify the respective tyre.

176 Vehicle care

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 207.For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe tyre pressure monitoring systemcontinually checks the pressure of allfour wheels when vehicle speedexceeds a certain limit.All wheels must be equipped withpressure sensors and the tyres musthave the prescribed pressure.

When a low tyre condition is detected,A illuminates. If A comes on, stop assoon as possible and inflate the tyresas recommended in this manual. Tyrepressures 3 207.After inflating the tyres to theappropriate pressure, A may stayilluminated. Pressure change will berecognized as the vehicles is driven.NoteIn countries where the tyre pressuremonitoring system is legallyrequired, the use of wheels withoutpressure sensors will invalidate thevehicle type approval.

The current tyre pressures may beshown in the Info-Display 3 107.Vehicle messages, tyre pressure3 102.Control indicator w 3 91.If the tyre pressure shall be reducedor increased, switch off ignition.w may come on in cool weather whenthe vehicle is first started and thenturn off as the vehicle is driven. This

could be an early indicator that the airpressure is getting low and needs tobe inflated to the proper pressure.A spare or temporary spare wheel isnot equipped with pressure sensors.The tyre pressure monitoring systemis not operational for these wheelsand w illuminates.Winter tyres or additional wheel setshave to be fitted with sensors,otherwise the system will not workand w will indicate malfunction byflashing one minute and thenilluminate continuously.The use of commercially availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair thefunction of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.External high-power radio equipmentcould disrupt the tyre pressuremonitoring system.Unsuited rims can impair thetransmission quality of the tyrepressure monitoring system sensors.

Vehicle care 177

Each time the tyres are replaced, thetyre pressure monitoring systemsensors have to be dismounted andserviced. For the screwed sensorreplace the valve core and sealingring, for the clipped sensor replacecomplete rubber valve stem.

Auto learn functionAfter changing wheels the vehiclemust be stationary for approx.20 minutes, before the systemrecalculates. The following relearnprocess takes up to 10 minutes ofdriving with a minimum speed of16 mph. ---- can be displayed in theInfo-display or pressure values canswap.If problems occur during the relearnprocess, w will flash and thenilluminate continously.

Temperature dependencyCold tyres decrease the tyrepressure, warm tyres increase thetyre pressure. During driving tyretemperature and pressure increase.The displayed tyre pressure valueshows the actual tyre pressure.Therefore it is important to check tyrepressure with cold tyres.

System initialisation

After a wheel change or tyre pressureadjustment, the system must beinitialised: inflate the cold tyres to theprescribed pressure according to thetyre information label or this

document 3 207. Then switch onignition and press and hold the DDSbutton for approx. 4 seconds. wflashes three times.If the tyre pressure differencebetween the left and the right wheelon one axle is more than 30 kPa, tyrepressure monitoring systemmalfunction will be indicated, as thevehicle starts moving for the first timeafter initialisation. Adjust the tyrepressure and repeat initialisation.NoteThe system needs to be initialisedafter tyre pressure change,otherwise it will not be able to warnproperly.

Tread depthCheck tread depth at regularintervals.Tyres should be replaced for safetyreasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm(4 mm for winter tyres).

178 Vehicle care

The legally permissible minimumtread depth (1.6 mm) has beenreached when the tread has worndown as far as one of the tread wearindicators (TWI). Their position isindicated by markings on thesidewall.If there is more wear at the front thanthe rear, swap round front wheels andrear wheels periodically.Tyres age, even if they are not used.We recommend tyre replacementevery 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheelsizeIf tyres of a different size than thosefitted at the factory are used, it may benecessary to reprogram thespeedometer and make other vehiclemodifications.After converting to a different tyresize, have the label with tyrepressures replaced.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheelsmay lead to accidents and willinvalidate the vehicle typeapproval.

Wheel coversWheel covers and tyres that arefactory approved for the respectivevehicle and comply with all of therelevant wheel and tyre combinationrequirements must be used.If the wheel covers and tyres used arenot factory approved, the tyres mustnot have a rim protection ridge.

Wheel covers must not impair brakecooling.Remove the wheel covers if tyrechains are to be installed.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheelcovers could lead to suddenpressure loss and therebyaccidents.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on thefront wheels.

Vehicle care 179

Additional engine oil additivesThe use of additional engine oiladditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 199.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only silicate-free long life coolant(LLC) antifreeze.

The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. Innorthern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -37 °C. This concentrationshould be maintained all year round.The use of additional coolantadditives that intend to give additionalcorrosion protection or seal againstminor leaks can cause functionproblems. Liability for consequencesresulting from the use of additionalcoolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluidOnly use high-performance brakefluid approved for the vehicle, consultyour workshop.Over time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifiedinterval.Brake fluid should be stored in asealed container to avoid waterabsorption.

Customer informationDeclaration of conformityThis vehicle has systems thattransmit and/or receive radio wavessubject to Directive 1999/5/EC.These systems are in compliancewith the essential requirements andother relevant provisions of Directive1999/5/EC. Copies of the originalDeclarations of Conformity can beobtained on our website.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersData storage modules in thevehicleA large number of electroniccomponents of your vehicle containdata storage modules temporarily orpermanently storing technical dataabout the condition of the vehicle,events and errors. In general, thistechnical information documents thecondition of parts, modules, systemsor the environment:■ Operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels)■ Status messages of the vehicle and

its single components (e.g. numberof wheel revolutions / rotationalspeed, deceleration, lateralacceleration)

■ Dysfunctions and defects inimportant system components

Customer information 211

■ Vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation ofan airbag, activation of the stabilityregulation system)

■ Environmental conditions (e.g.temperature)

These data are exclusively technicaland help identifying and correctingerrors as well as optimizing vehiclefunctions.Motion profiles indicating travelledroutes cannot be created with thesedata.If services are used (e.g. repairworks, service processes, warrantycases, quality assurance),employees of the service network(manufacturer included) are able toread out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules applying special diagnosticdevices. If required, you will receivefurther information at theseworkshops. After an error has beencorrected, the data are deleted fromthe error storage module or they areconstantly overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situationsmay occur in which these technicaldata related to other information(accident report, damages on thevehicle, witness statements etc.) maybe associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of anexpert.Additional functions contractuallyagreed upon with the client (e.g.vehicle location in emergency cases)allow the transmission of particularvehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls for doorlocking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage dooropeners. RFID technology inVauxhall vehicles does not use orrecord personal information or linkwith any other Vauxhall systemcontaining personal information.
