When the footbrake is quickly and 

forcefully depressed, the vehicle is 

automatically braked with maximum brake 

force amplification in order to obtain the 

shortest possible braking distance during 

full-on braking (brake assist).
Maintain steady pressure on the brake 

pedal for as long as full-on braking is to 

continue. When the brake pedal is 

released, the maximum brake force 

amplification is taken away.

The footbrake comprises two independent 

brake circuits. 
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be 

braked using the other brake circuit. If this 

occurs, however, the brake pedal must be 

depressed quite far using considerable 

force before braking effect occurs. 

The distance required for braking will be 

greater. Consult a workshop before 

continuing your journey. We recommend 

your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. 
To ensure the full pedal travel can be 

utilized, especially in case of a fault in one 

of the brake circuits, there must be no mats 

in the vicinity of the pedals. 
When the engine is not running, the 

assistance 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. This is especially 

important to bear in mind when towing. 
Check the brake lights before starting out 

on a journey.

Shortly after starting each journey the 

effectiveness of the brake system should 

be tested at low speed and without 

inconveniencing other traffic, especially if 

the brakes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle 

has been washed. 
The brake fluid level should be checked 

regularly. If the brake fluid level is too low 

and the handbrake is not applied, control 

indicator R on the instrument panel 

illuminates - see page 26.
