A Note On Safety; Checking And Topping Up Fluids - Vauxhall Vectra Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

Further information on maintenance and
the inspection system 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 the work carried out at the intervals
specified in the Service Booklet. We

A note on safety

Always switch ignition off when performing
checks in the engine compartment (e. g.
checking the brake fluid level or the engine
oil level) because of risk of injury from live
cables and rotating parts.

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.

Never carry out any repairs or adjustment

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.
