Driving and operating

205

When the system recognises an

unintended lane change, the control

indicator ) changes to yellow and

flashes. Simultaneously a chime

sound is activated.

The system cannot operate when no

lane marking is detected.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

Your engine is capable of running

with E10 fuel that fulfills these

standards. E10 fuel contains up to

10 % bioethanol.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating 3 273. Use of fuel with

too low an octane rating can reduce

engine power and torque and slightly

increases fuel consumption.

Deactivation

The system is deactivated by

pressing ) button; the LED in the

button extinguishes.

At speeds below 56 km/h the system

is inoperable.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

Fault

The lane departure warning system

may not operate properly when:

■ the windscreen is not clean

■ there are adverse environmental

conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,

direct sunlight or shadows

206

Driving and operating

Caution

The boiling point depends on the

pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient

pressure, it is between -42 °C (pure

propane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or

equivalent can lead to deposits or

engine damage and may affect

your warranty.

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 590 or similar can lead to

engine powerloss, increased wear

or engine damage and may affect

your warranty.

Caution

The system works at an ambient

temperature of approx. -8 °C to

100 °C.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-

water emulsions. Diesel fuels must

not be diluted with fuels for petrol

engines.

Caution

Full function of the LPG system can

only be guaranteed with liquid gas

which complies with the minimum

requirements of DIN EN 589.

Use of fuel with too low an octane

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

Fuel for liquid gas

operation

Fuel for diesel engines

Fuel selector

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with EN 590.

Liquid gas is known as LPG

(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under

its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole

Liquéfié). LPG is also known as

Autogas.

In countries outside the European

Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a

sulfur concentration below 50 ppm.

LPG consists mainly of propane and

butane. The octane rating is between

105 and 115, depending on the

butane proportion. LPG is stored

liquid at around 5 - 10 bar pressure.

Driving and operating

Caution

207

Press the LPG button to switch

between petrol and liquid gas

operation as soon as the required

parameters (coolant temperature,

gas temperature and minimum

engine speed) have been reached.

The requirements are usually fulfilled

after around 60 seconds (depending

on exterior temperature) and the first

firm press on the accelerator. The

LED status shows the current

operating mode.

Fill the tank completely at regular

intervals to prevent corrosion in the

tank.

Repairs and adjustments may only

be made by trained specialists in

order to maintain the safety and

warranty on the LPG system.

Faults and remedies

If gas mode is not possible, check the

following:

■ Is there enough liquid gas present?

■ Is there enough petrol present for

starting?

Due to extreme temperatures in

combination with the gas

composition, it may take slightly

longer before the system switches

from petrol to gas mode.

In extreme situations, the system may

also switch back to petrol mode if the

minimum requirements are not

fulfilled.

Liquid gas is given a particular odour

(odorised) so that any leaks can be

detected easily.

9 Warning

1 off

= petrol operation

1 illumi‐

nates

= liquid gas operation

If you smell gas in the vehicle or in

the immediate vicinity, switch to

petrol mode immediately. No

smoking. No naked flames or

ignition sources.

1 flashes

= no switching is

possible, one type of

fuel is empty

As soon as the liquid gas tank is

empty, petrol operation is

automatically engaged until the

ignition is switched off.

If the gas odour persists, do not start

the engine. If possible, close the

manual shut-off valve on the

multivalve. The multivalve is located

on the liquid gas tank in the load

compartment, underneath the rear

floor cover.

Seek the assistance of a workshop in

the event of all other faults.

Every six months, run the petrol tank

down until control indicator i or Y

illuminates, then refuel. This helps

maintain fuel quality and system

function for petrol operation.

208

Driving and operating

Refuelling

9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.

No smoking. No naked flames or

sparks.

If you can smell fuel in your

vehicle, have the cause of this

remedied immediately by a

workshop.

Caution

Turn the thumb wheel clockwise.

In case of misfuelling, do not

switch on ignition.

If no further gas odour is perceptible

when the manual shut-off valve is

closed, the vehicle can be used in

petrol mode. If the gas odour persists,

do not start the engine. Have the

cause of the fault remedied by a

workshop.

When using underground car parks,

follow the instructions of the operator

and local laws.

9 Danger

Fuel filler flap is located at right rear

side of vehicle.

Before refuelling, switch off engine

and any external heaters with

combustion chambers. Switch off

any mobile phones.

Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station

when refuelling.

Note

In the event of an accident, switch off

the ignition and lights. Close the

manual shut-off valve on multivalve.

Driving and operating

209

Liquid gas refuelling

Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station when

refuelling.

The filling valve for the liquid gas is

behind the fuel filler cap.

The fuel filler cap can be retained in

the bracket on the fuel filler flap.

To refuel, fully insert the pump nozzle

and switch it on.

After the automatic cut-off, the tank

can be topped-up with a maximum

two doses of fuel.

The fuel filler flap can only be opened

if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the

fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

Petrol and Diesel refuelling

To open, turn the cap slowly

anticlockwise.

Unscrew protective cap from the filler

neck.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel

immediately.

To close, turn the fuel filler cap

clockwise until it clicks.

Close the flap and let engage.

locking lever of filler nozzle fully.

EURO filler neck: Press the filler

nozzle onto the adapter until it

engages.

9 Warning

Due to the system design, an

escape of liquid gas after

releasing the locking lever is

unavoidable. Avoid inhaling.

9 Warning

The liquid gas tank may only be

filled to 80% for safety reasons.

Screw the required adapter hand-

tight onto the filler neck.

The multivalve on the liquid gas tank

automatically limits the fill quantity. If

a larger quantity is added, we

recommend not exposing the vehicle

to the sun until the excess amount

has been used up.

Press the button at the liquid gas

supply point. The filling system stops

or begins to run slowly when 80% of

the tank volume is reached

(maximum fill level).

Release button on filling system and

the filling process stops. Release the

locking lever and remove the filler

nozzle. A small quantity of liquid gas

can escape.

Filling adapter

As filling systems are not

standardised, different adapters are

required which are available from

Opel Distributors and from Opel

Authorised Repairers.

Remove adapter and stow in vehicle.

Fit protective cap to prevent the

penetration of foreign bodies into the

filler opening and the system.
