Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear.

Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.
In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver’s field of view, if the tyre speed code is below the maximum speed of the vehicle.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter tyres

Tyre designations

E.g. 225/55 R 18 98 V
225 : tyre width, mm
55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), %
R : belt type: Radial
RF : type: RunFlat
18 : wheel diameter, inches
98 : load index e.g. 98 is equivalent to 750 kg
V : speed code letter Speed code letter:
Q : up to 100 mph
S : up to 112 mph
T : up to 118 mph
H : up to 130 mph
V : up to 150 mph
W : up to 168 mph

Choose a tyre appropriate for the maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus 125 kg payload. Optional equipment could reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle.

Directional tyres

Directional tyres should be mounted so that they rotate in the correct direction. The proper rotation direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.2021 Vauxhall Grandland Fuses and Fuse Box How to fix Blown Fuse (4)

The tyre pressure information label on the left door frame indicates the original equipment tyres and the correspondent tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on various options. For the correct tyre pressure value, follow the procedure below:

  1. Identify the engine identifier code. Engine data.
  2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 248.
For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents.

Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.

Warning
For specific tyres the recommended tyre pressure as shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. Tyre pressure values provided on the tyre information label and tyre pressure chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly 1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature increase. This must be considered when warm tyres are checked.

Tyre deflation detection system

The tyre deflation detection system continually checks the rotation speed of all four wheels and warns on low tyre pressure condition once vehicle is driving. This is achieved by comparing tyre rolling circumference with reference values and further signals.
If a tyre loses pressure the control indicator w illuminates and a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
In this case reduce speed, avoid sharp cornering and strong braking. Stop at next safe opportunity and check tyre pressure. 

After adjusting tyre pressure initialise system to extinguish the control indicator and restart system.
If the failure continues to be displayed, contact a workshop. The system is inoperable when ABS or ESC has a malfunction or a temporary spare wheel is used. Once the road tyre has been refitted, check the tyre pressure with cold tyres and initialise the system.

Caution
Deflation detection system warns just about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace regular tyre maintenance by the driver.

System initialisation
After tyre pressure correction or wheel change, the system must be initialised to learn new circumference reference values:

  1. Always ensure that all four tyres have correct tyre pressure.
  2. Apply parking brake.
  3. Initialise the system via the Info Display
  4. Reset is confirmed by pop-up indication.

After initialisation system automatically calibrates to new tyre pressures during driving. After longer drive the system will adopt and monitor new pressures.
Always check tyre pressure with cold tyres.
System has to be reinitialised when:

  • Tyre pressure has been changed
  • Load condition has been changed
  • Wheels have been swapped or exchanged

The system will not warn instantaneously on a tyre blow out or a rapid deflation. This is due to required calculation time.

FAQs

What does a fuse box do in a Vauxhall Grandland?

There is no text provided. The purpose of the fuse box is to safeguard the electrical circuits of the vehicle by housing fuses that interrupt the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby preventing harm to the components.

Where is the fuse box located in a 2021 Vauxhall Grandland?

The fuse box in a 2021 Vauxhall Grandland is located at a specific position. In the Grandland, the fuse box is commonly situated either in the engine compartment or inside the cabin, typically in close proximity to the dashboard or footwell.

How can I identify a blown fuse?

The user’s text is empty. Examine the fuse for any signs of a fractured wire or a change in coloration. Furthermore, a multimeter can verify the operational status of the fuse.

What tools do I need to replace a blown fuse?

Typically, only a fuse puller or small pliers and replacement fuses with the appropriate amperage are needed.

What amperage fuses does the Vauxhall Grandland use?

The Vauxhall Grandland uses fuses with a specific amperage. The amperage ratings fluctuate based on the circuit. Typical ratings span from 5A to 30A.

How do I know which fuse needs to be replaced?

Consult the vehicle manual or the cover of the fuse box. Both offer a comprehensive diagram and detailed explanation of the circuits safeguarded by each fuse.

Can I use any fuse as a replacement?*

There is no text provided. It is imperative to utilize a fuse with the precise amperage rating specified in order to avoid electrical damage or the risk of fire hazards.

Can a blown fuse cause other issues in the car?

Yes, a blown fuse can have an impact on different electrical components, leading to malfunctions in lights, radio, power windows, or other systems.

What should I do if I repeatedly have blown fuses?

 The occurrence of repeated fuse blowouts may suggest the presence of an underlying electrical problem. It is recommended to seek the expertise of a mechanic for a comprehensive examination.

How do I replace a blown fuse in a Vauxhall Grandland?

Deactivate the ignition, identify the blown fuse by referring to the supplied fuse diagram, employ a fuse puller or pliers to extract it, and substitute it with a new fuse of equivalent rating.

Are there spare fuses in the car?

Certain vehicles are equipped with spare fuses that can be found in the fuse box or included in the vehicle manual kit.

What precautions should I take when replacing a fuse?

When replacing a fuse, it is important to take certain precautions to ensure safety and prevent damage.Make sure to turn off the car, utilize insulated tools, and only replace the fuse with the suggested amperage.

Can I fix a blown fuse myself, or do I need a professional?

The owner can usually perform straightforward fuse replacements. Nevertheless, in the event of frequent occurrences of fuse blowouts, it is advisable to seek assistance from a professional.

Can a fuse be the reason behind a non-starting car?

Yes, a fuse can be the cause of a car not starting.Indeed, the occurrence of a blown fuse in vital components such as the ignition or fuel pump can impede the car from initiating.

What if I replace the fuse, but the problem persists?

If replacing the fuse does not solve the problem, it may suggest a more complex electrical issue that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a professional.
