Tyres

See page 326 for suitable tyres and
restrictions.
Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to
the chassis and provide optimum driving
comfort and safety.

Changing tyre / wheel type

Before switching to different tyres or
wheels, seek advice on the technical
possibilities. We recommend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer,
who will be able to advise you of any
necessary modifications.
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, the electronic
speedometer may require reprogramming
to ensure that the correct speed is
displayed.

Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring
system 3
If winter tyres or tyres of a different size are
fitted, tyre pressure monitoring system
sensors can be retro-fitted if so desired.
Otherwise, the system will not indicate tyre
pressure deviations. We recommend that
you consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.

Vehicles with run-flat tyres 3
When switching wheels, e.g. when
switching to winter tyres, use run-flat tyres
as there is no spare wheel or tyre repair kit
in the vehicle.
