2020 Vauxhall Crossland User Manual

The 2020 Vauxhall Crossland was the brand’s first step into the competitive compact crossover market. It had a stylish look and could be used in many different ways in the city. The Crossland was a unique mix of SUV style and utility. It had a comfortable interior, advanced infotainment choices, and a range of fuel-efficient gasoline and diesel engines. The Crossland was in Vauxhall’s lineup between the Mokka X and the Grandland X. It was made to attract drivers who wanted a small but roomy car with current safety features and a fun driving experience.

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a number of individual systems depending on the scope of equipment. When triggered, the airbags inflate within milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.

Warning
The airbag system deploys in an explosive manner, repairs must be performed by skilled personnel only.

Warning
Adding accessories that change the vehicle’s frame, bumper system, height, front end or side sheet metal, may keep the airbag system from working properly. The operation of the airbag system can also be affected by changing any parts of the front seats, seat belts, airbag sensing and diagnostic module, steering wheel, instrument panel, inner door seals including the speakers, any of the airbag modules, ceiling or pillar trim, front sensors, side impact sensors or airbag wiring.

Notice
The airbag systems and belt pretensioner control electronics are located in the centre console. Do not put any magnetic objects in this area. Do not affix any objects onto the airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials. Have damaged covers replaced by a workshop. Each airbag is triggered only once. Have deployed airbags replaced by a workshop. Furthermore, it may be necessary to have the steering wheel, the instrument panel, parts of the panelling, the door seals, handles and the seats replaced. Do not make any modifications to the airbag system as this will invalidate the vehicle operating permit. Control indicator v for airbag systems 3 83.

Storage compartments

Warning
Do not store heavy or sharp objects in the storage compartments. Otherwise, the storage compartment lid could open and vehicle occupants could be injured by objects being thrown around in the event of hard braking, a sudden change in direction or an accident.

Load compartment
The rear seat backrest is divided in two parts. Both parts can be folded down.

Warning
When folding up, ensure that backrests are securely locked in position before driving. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the load or vehicle in the event of hard braking or a collision.

Before folding rear seat backrests, execute the following if necessary:

• Remove the load compartment cover 3 64.
• Press and hold the catch to push the head restraints down 3 40.
• Insert the seat belts in the guiding latches.

Load compartment extension (version with lever)

• Pull the lever on one or both outer sides and fold down the backrests onto the seat cushion.
• To fold up, raise the backrests and guide them into an upright position until they engage audibly.

The backrests are properly engaged when the red mark near the lever is no longer visible.

Load compartment extension (version with loop)

• Move both rear seats to the most rearward position 3 45.
• Fold up rear armrest before folding down the relevant part of the backrest. Otherwise this part of the backrest cannot be folded down.
• Pull the loop and fold down the backrest onto the seat cushion.
• To fold up, raise the backrests and guide them into an upright position until they engage audibly.

Folding rear armrest
Pull the loop to fold down the rear armrest. The armrest can also be folded down from the load compartment by pulling the loop and pushing the centre backrest. The centre backrest is properly engaged when the red mark on the loop is no longer visible.

Load compartment cover
Do not place any objects on the cover.

Removing cover
Unhook retaining straps from tailgate. Lift cover, slightly angle and turn it. Remove the cover.

Stowing
The load compartment cover can be stored behind the rear seat backrests. Unhook retaining straps and lift the cover backwards until it unlatches. Then slide it down in the guides behind the seat backrests.

Fitting cover
Engage cover in side guides and fold downwards. Attach the retaining straps to the tailgate.

Rear floor storage cover
Raise cover at the recess to gain access to emergency breakdown equipment. Tyre repair kit 3 203. Spare wheel 3 207.

Double load floor
The double load floor can be inserted in the load compartment in two positions:

• lower position above the rear floor storage cover
• upper position interlocked with the grab handle into back panel trim

To remove, press the handle to unlock the load floor and lift it up while using the handle. If mounted in the upper position, the space between the load floor and the spare wheel well cover can be used as a storage compartment. In this position, if the rear seat backrests are folded forwards, an almost completely flat load bay is created. In the upper position, the double load floor is able to withstand a maximum load of 100 kg. In the lower position, the double load floor is able to withstand the maximum permissible load.

Lashing eyes
The lashing eyes are designed to secure items against slippage, e.g. using lashing straps or luggage net.

Warning triangle
Stow the warning triangle in the space at the rear of the load compartment and secure it with the Velcro® fastener.

First aid kit
Fold down the cover on the left side of the load compartment. Stow the first aid kit in the storage compartment.

Roof rack system

Roof rack
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the roof, the vehicle-approved roof rack system is recommended. Follow the installation instructions and remove the roof rack when not in use.

Mounting roof rack
Open all doors. Mounting points are located in each door frame of the vehicle body. Detach the cover from each mounting point and fasten the roof rack with the attached screws.

Loading information

• Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed against the seat backrests. Make sure that the backrests are securely engaged 3 62. If objects can be stacked, heavier objects should be placed at the bottom.
• Prevent sliding of loose objects by securing them with straps attached to the lashing eyes 3 65.
• Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests.
• Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
• The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.
• Do not drive with an open load compartment.
  Warning
  Always make sure that the load in the vehicle is securely stowed. Otherwise objects can be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause personal injury or damage to the load or car.
• The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 3 224) and the EC kerb weight, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. To calculate the payload, enter the data for your vehicle in the weights table at the front of this manual. The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel tank 90% full). Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight.
• Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently. Do not drive faster than 75 mph. The permissible roof load is 60 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
