Brakes; Brake Pedal - Opel Combo 2011 Manual

92 Driving and operating
If the cause of the fault is not
a discharged battery, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If the vehicle must be moved out of
the flow of traffic, disengage the
clutch as follows:
1. Apply parking brake and switch off
ignition.
2. Open the bonnet 3 100.
3. Clean the transmission around
the cap so that no dirt can get into
the opening when the cap is
removed.
4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove
by lifting upwards.
5. Using a flat-head screwdriver,
turn the adjusting screw under the
cap clockwise until clear
resistance can be felt. The clutch
has now been disengaged.
Caution
Do not turn beyond the resistance
since this could damage the
transmission.
6. Refit cleaned cap. The cap must
be in full contact with the housing.
Caution
Towing the vehicle and starting
the engine is not permitted when
the clutch has been disengaged in
this way, although the vehicle can
be moved a short distance.
Seek the immediate assistance of
a workshop.

Brakes

The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear
this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 68.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
