Wheels, tyres
Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge 
for alloy wheels to protect against 
damage. If a wheel trim is used on steel 
wheels with beaded-edge tyres, comply 
with the following: 
z The use of wheel trims and tyres that 
Vauxhall has approved for the vehicle 
and therefore fulfil all requirements for 
the relevant combination of wheels and 
tyres.
z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not 
Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not 
have a beaded edge. 
Tyre pressure 
Check tyre pressure, including the spare 
wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to 
any long journey; the tyres should be 
checked when cold. Don’t forget to check 
the spare 3.

Use the valve cap key to make unscrewing 
the valve caps easier. The key is located on 
the inside of the tank flap. 
Tyre pressures – see pages 205, 206. 
Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres 
are warm. Otherwise the pressure may 
drop below the permissible minimum when 
the tyres cool down. 
After having checked the tyre pressure, 
tighten the valve caps using the valve cap 
key.

Incorrect inflation pressures will impair 
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel 
economy and will increase tyre wear. 
Pressure that is too low can result in 
considerable tyre warm-up and internal 
damage, leading to tread separation and 
even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Hidden tyre damage is not eliminated by 
adjusting the tyre pressure.

 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims 
could lead to sudden loss of air and 
thereby accidents.

 Warning
Incorrect tyre pressure could lead to a flat 
tyre.
