Opel Corsa: Driving and operating / Driving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others.
All systems function during an
Autostop.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system...
Other information:
Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
Special programmes automatically
adapt the shifting points when driving
up inclines or down hills...
LED tail lights
Have lights repaired by a workshop in
case of failure.
Light assembly in the body
Open the tailgate then remove the
access cover on the relevant side.
Slacken the lamp fixing nut using
a box spanner or socket.To avoid losing the nut if it drops
into the wing trim, first place a
cloth below it...
