Maintenance, inspection system
Further information on maintenance and
the Service Plan can be found in the Service
Booklet, which is in the glove compartment.
Have maintenance work, as well as repairs
to the bodywork and equipment, carried
out by a professional. We recommend your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who is
familiar with Vauxhall vehicles and in
possession of the necessary special tools
and the latest Service Instructions from
Vauxhall. It is particularly advisable to use
a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer during the
warranty period to avoid invalidation of
warranty claims. See the Service Booklet for
further information.
Separate anti-corrosion service
Have this carried out every 2 years, either
within the scope of a Service or separately,
see Service Booklet. We recommend that
you consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer in order to avoid loss of warranty
claims for rust damage.

A note on safety
To avoid injury from moving parts and
cables conducting ignition voltage, only
carry out engine compartment
checks (e.g. checking brake fluid or engine
oil level) when the ignition is switched off.
Picture no: 17305t.tif
Never carry out any repairs or adjustment
and maintenance work on the vehicle
yourself. This especially applies to the
engine, chassis and safety parts. You may
unwittingly infringe the provisions of the
law and, by not performing the work
properly, endanger yourself and other
road users.
Checking and topping up fluids
To aid identification, the caps used when
topping up engine oil, coolant and wash
fluid as well as the oil dipstick are coloured
yellow.

Warning
The cooling fan is controlled by a
thermoswitch and can therefore start
unexpectedly even if the ignition is
switched off. Risk of injury.
Electronic ignition systems generate very
high voltages. Do not touch the ignition
system; high voltage can be fatal.
