Lane departure warning

The lane departure warning system

uses a front camera to observe the

lane markings between which the

vehicle is driving. The system detects

lane changes and warns the driver in

the event of an unintended lane

change via visual and acoustic

signals.
Criteria for the detection of an

unintended lane change are:

● no operation of turn and lane-

change signals

● no active steering

If the driver is performing these

actions, no warning will be issued.

Activation

The lane departure warning system is

activated by pressing ì in the roof

console; LED in the button

extinguishes to indicate that the

system is switched on.

illuminates in the instrument cluster,

the system is ready to operate. A

corresponding message also

appears in the Driver Information

Centre 3 103.
Control indicator ì extinguishes

when the system is not ready to warn

the driver.
The system is only operable at

vehicle speeds above 60 km/h and if

lane markings are available and

detected.
If the turn and lane-change signals

are not operated when changing

lanes, i.e. an unintended lane change

Fuel

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with EN 590. The fuel must have low

sulphur content (max. 10 ppm).

Equivalent standardised fuels with a

biodiesel (= FAME according to

EN14214) content of max. 7% by

volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent

standards) may be used.
In countries outside the European

Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a

sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 590 or similar can lead to

engine powerloss, increased wear

or engine damage and may affect

your warranty.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils or entirely plant-based diesel

fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio

diesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-

170

Driving and operating

water emulsions. Diesel fuels must

not be diluted with fuels for petrol

engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuels

are temperature-dependent. When

temperatures are low, refuel with

diesel fuel with guaranteed winter

properties.
Diesel fuel filter 3 184, diesel fuel

system bleeding 3 184.

Low temperature operation

At temperatures below 0° C, some

diesel products with biodiesel blends

may clog, freeze or gel, which may

affect the fuel supply system. Starting

and engine operation may not work

properly. Make sure to fill winter

grade diesel fuel at ambient

temperatures below 0°C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used

in extreme cold temperatures below

-20° C. Using this fuel grade in warm

or hot climates is not recommended

and may cause engine stalling, poor

starting or damage on the fuel

injection system.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off engine

and any external heaters with

combustion chambers. Switch off

any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station

when refuelling.

9 Danger

fuel filler caps.

Fuel consumption - CO

2

-

Emissions

The fuel consumption (combined) of

the model Opel Movano is within a

range of approx. 9.5 to 6.6 l/100 km.
Depending on country, the fuel

consumption is displayed in km/l. In

this case, the fuel consumption

(combined) of the model Opel

Movano is within a range of approx.

10.5 to 15.2 km/l.
The CO

2

 emission (combined) is

within a range of approx. 173 to 248

g/km.
For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

General information

The official fuel consumption and

specific CO

2

 emission figures quoted

relate to the EU base model with

standard equipment.
Fuel consumption data and CO

2

emission data are determined

according to regulation R (EC)

No. 715/2007 (in the latest applicable

version), taking into consideration the

vehicle weight in running order, as

specified by the regulation.
The figures are provided only for the

purpose of comparison between

different vehicle variants and must

not be taken as a guarantee for the

actual fuel consumption of a

particular vehicle.
Additional equipment may result in

slightly higher results than the stated

consumption and CO

2

 figures.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is

dependent on personal driving style

as well as road and traffic conditions.

172

Driving and operating

Trailer hitch

General information

Only use towing equipment that has

been approved for your vehicle.

Entrust fitting of towing equipment at

a later date to a workshop. It may be

necessary to make changes that

affect the cooling system, heat

shields or other equipment.

Driving characteristics and

towing tips

In the case of trailers with brakes,

attach the breakaway stopping cable.
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate

the coupling ball. However, do not do

so if a stabiliser, which acts on the

coupling ball, is being used to reduce

snaking movements. For trailers with

low driving stability the use of a

stabiliser is recommended.
A maximum speed of 80 km/h must

not be exceeded, even in countries

where higher speeds are permitted.

If the trailer starts snaking, drive more

slowly, do not attempt to correct the

steering and brake sharply if

necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the

same gear as if driving uphill and

drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value

specified for full load 3 247.

Trailer towing

Trailer loads

The permissible trailer loads are

vehicle-dependent and engine-

dependent maximum values which

must not be exceeded. The actual

trailer load is the difference between

the actual gross weight of the trailer

and the actual coupling socket load

with the trailer coupled.
The permissible trailer loads are

specified in the vehicle documents. In

general, they are valid for gradients

up to max. 12%.
The permitted trailer load applies up

to the specified incline and up to an

altitude of 1000 metres above sea

level. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the air

becoming thinner, therefore reducing

climbing ability, the permissible gross

train weight also decreases by 10%

for every 1000 metres of additional

altitude. The gross train weight does

not have to be reduced when driving

on roads with slight inclines (less than

8%, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight

must not be exceeded. This weight is

specified on the identification plate

3

 226.

Vertical coupling load

The vertical coupling load is the load

exerted by the trailer on the coupling

ball. It can be varied by changing the

weight distribution when loading the

trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical

coupling load is specified on the

towing equipment identification plate

and in the vehicle documents. Always

aim for the maximum load, especially

in the case of heavy trailers. The

vertical coupling load should never

fall below 25 kg.

Driving and operating

173

In the case of trailer loads of

1200 kg or more, the vertical coupling

load should not be less than 50 kg.

Rear axle load

When the trailer is coupled and the

towing vehicle fully loaded (including

all occupants), the permissible rear

axle load (see identification plate or

vehicle documents) must not be

exceeded.

Towing equipment

Caution

When operating without a trailer,

remove the coupling ball bar.

Towing equipment audible

warning

For vehicles fitted with towing

equipment, when connected to a

trailer the pitch of the audible warning

changes upon operation of the turn

signals.

The pitch of the audible warning will

change if a turn signal light on the

trailer or the towing vehicle fails.

Trailer stability assist

If the system detects snaking

movements, engine power is reduced

and the vehicle/trailer combination is

selectively braked until the snaking

ceases. While the system is working,

keep steering wheel as still as

possible.
Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a

function of the Electronic Stability

Program (ESP) 3 158.

surface. The engine must be at

operating temperature and switched

off for at least ten minutes.

Vehicle care

179

Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,

reinsert fully, pull out and read the

engine oil level.
When the engine oil level has

dropped to the MIN mark, top-up

engine oil.

Caution

Do not allow the engine oil level to

drop below the minimum level!

We recommend the use of the same

type of engine oil that was used at the

last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed

the maximum mark MAX on the

dipstick.

Caution

Overfilled engine oil must be

drained or suctioned out. If the

level exceeds the maximum level,

do not start the vehicle and contact

an authorised dealer.

To prevent spillage when

replenishing the engine oil, we

recommend using a funnel. Ensure

funnel is securely located onto the

filler pipe.
A stabilization of the engine oil

consumption will not take place until

the vehicle has been driven several

thousand kilometres. Only then can

the actual degree of consumption be

established.
