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:
Side blind zone alert assist helps to
avoid crashes due to unintentional
lane departures when an object is
detected within a specified blind spot
zone.
The system displays a visual alert in
each exterior mirror, when detecting
objects that may not be visible in the
interior and exterior mirrors...
Data on the replacement fuse must
match the data on the defective fuse.
The three fuse boxes are located in:
engine compartment
instrument panel
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognised by its
melted wire...
