Introduction

From Model Year 2009, this publication will be available only on TIS and contain information on wheels and tyres for all Opel/Vauxhall cars originally delivered from Model Year (MY) 2005.

This issue (2625/11) replaces issue 2625/10. This issue is valid for all vehicles in accordance with the table of contents details for MY 2005 to MY 2010.

Note:   The Model Year can be found in the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and is the 10th digit from the left. The code "5", for example, stands for MY 2005 and "A" for MY 2010.

Tyre pressure data apply to cold tyres. When the vehicle is motion the tyre pressures can be higher and should not be reduced. The spare wheel must be at the maximum tyre pressure stated for the vehicle.

Note:   From Model Year 2009, tyre pressures will be stated only in kPa or psi.

For all ECOflex models, the recommended ECO tyre pressure must be set without fail. This is the only way of achieving the specified consumption and CO 2 values.

Tyres that are marked "winter" in the tyre pressure tables are only permitted for use as winter tyres. Tyres without this indication can be used in both summer and winter.
