|
1. Coolant Level, Check, Correct, except
Omega - B
|
When the engine is cold, the coolant level in the
compensation tank must not sink below the "KALT" (cold) mark. For
correction, use Radiator Anti - freeze 19 40 656
(90 297 545).

4. Octane Number Plug, Check, Set Code, except
Omega - B, for Vectra - B only 16 LZ2 engine
|
All engines listed below are equipped with coding plugs for
octane number adjustment. This coding plug allows a choice between two fuel
types by changing the plug direction.
Important:
Fuels with low octane numbers - e. g.
91 RON - can cause engine damage if the coding is incorrect -
e. g. 95 RON; fuels with a higher octane number than coded do not cause
damage. If the plug is set to a higher octane number, the correspondingly
higher fuel quality must be used. Only adjust the octane number setting with
the engine switched off.
Caution:
The customer must be expressly informed about the
significance of the octane number adjustment on delivery of the vehicle.
