unroadworthy.
Vehi cles w ith Tyr e Pressure Monit oring
System 3
When using winter ty res or when switching
to different tyre sizes, sensors for the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring S ystem c an be fitted
at a later da te by a workshop upon
req uest. Otherw ise, the system would not
indicate tyre pressure dev iations.

see page 155.
Vehi cles w ith run-flat tyr es 3
When switching wheels, e.g. when
switching to winter tyres, use run-flat tyres
as there is no spare wheel or tyre repair k it
in the v ehicle.
Run-fla t tyres 3 – see page 163.
Fitting ne w tyres
Fit tyres in pairs or in sets, which is ev en
better. Ensure that tyres on one a xle are
z the same size
z the same design
z the same make
z and with the same tread pattern.
Fit directional tyres such tha t they roll in the
direction of travel. The rolling direc tion is
indica ted b y a sym bol (e.g . an arrow) on
the sidewall.
Ty res fitted op posing the rolling direction
(e.g. when a ty re is changed) should be
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to obtain full benefit from the design
prop erties of the ty re.
Run-flat ty res 3 must not be combined with
conv entional tyres.
Observ e legal requirements when
disposing of tyres.
Some b ra nd s of tyres have a b eaded ed ge
for a lloy wheels to protect against
damage. If wheel trim is used on steel
wheels with beaded-edg e ty res, the
following procedure must be followed:
z Wheel trims and ty res that are a pproved
by Va ux ha ll for the respectiv e v ehicle
and comply with a ll of the relevant wheel
and tyre combination requirements must
be used.
z If the wheel trims and ty res used are not
Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not
have a b eaded edge.

Warning
Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheel trim s
could lead to sudden pressure loss and
thereby a ccidents.
Tyre press ure
C heck ty re pressure, including the sp are
wheel, a t least every 14 da ys and prior to
any long journey ; the ty res should b e
checked when cold. Don' t forget to chec k
the spare 3.
Use the valve cap key to mak e unscrewing
the valv e caps easier. The key is located on
the inside of the tank flap.
