 Protect our future.
Embracing life means taking responsibility for it too. That’s why Vauxhall has always been
at the forefront of green automotive initiatives. We are always looking to reduce vehicle
CO2 emissions and our ecoFLEX models like the New Meriva 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) have
among the lowest emissions in their class. Most recently, we have been researching ways
of developing new cars that are more efficient than ever before. The forthcoming Vauxhall
Ampera* is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 50 miles on
battery power alone and over 300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system.

But our commitment to preserving the environment goes even further. We have
dramatically reduced manufacturing emissions, for example, and our new vehicles
use more recycled materials and more recyclable parts than ever before.

We also offer free and easily accessible, environmentally friendly, end-of-life vehicle
disposal through our partners Autogreen Ltd.

That way, we reduce our environmental impact in every phase of every Vauxhall vehicle’s
life cycle. We all share the same world. Let’s embrace it.

 Leaner, greener and great to drive, the New Meriva engine line-up delivers brilliant performance with high levels of
efficiency and Euro 5 compliant emissions. And what an exciting new choice! Three 1.4 litre petrol engines and four
diesels. The Meriva’s ecoFLEX diesel engine has been designed to save you money whilst not compromising performance. The benefit of improved fuel
economy speaks for itself but lower CO2 emissions also mean Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) savings and lower company car taxation too. Take a look at the table
below for all the information.

Low-emission petrol engines.

All New Meriva petrol engines feature advanced induction with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology for high fuel economy and performance. A 100PS engine
is matched with two turbocharged versions – a 120PS model and a range topping 140PS variant, the latter unit cleverly combines the turbo with longer gear
ratios to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without loss of driving enjoyment.

High-tech diesels.
New Meriva’s four diesel engines are also turbocharged, adding fuel-injection, common rail diesel technology, which cuts emissions, reduces noise and lowers
fuel consumption. The new, 95PS 1.3CDTi ecoFLEX models are particularly eco-friendly, with closed-loop combustion control and taller gear ratios which
combined help reduce emissions to just 119g/km. On all models strict emissions control is further achieved through the use of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF),
electronically controlled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and, on the 1.7CDTi models, a variable intake system designed to optimise efficiency and reduce
emissions. The new 1.7CDTi (130PS) engine is the perfect example. With up to 300Nm of torque available from just 2000-2500rpm, it provides very brisk
performance – but without compromising fuel economy or low CO2 emissions.

Three transmissions.
An easy-shifting, five-speed manual gearbox is standard on both 1.3CDTi diesels, and the 1.4i 100PS and 120PS petrol variants. A performance-focused six-speed
manual is standard on the 1.4i 16v VVT Turbo (140PS) and the hot new 1.7CDTi 16v (130PS) diesel. And a specially calibrated, six-speed fully automatic transmission
is standard with the 1.7CDTi (100PS), which adapts to your driving style and even the prevailing road conditions. With its innovative ActiveSelect® feature, it also
allows sequential driver gear selection via the shift lever.

New Meriva offers generous luggage space – as much as 1496 litres maximum,
and 397 litres even in the five-seater configuration. But as you would expect,
it’s the flexibility that really counts. With its 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat, you
can fold either side flat for people and luggage in various combinations. Or fold
just the centre seat flat creating a practical load-through space for longer items.

Best of all, New Meriva’s rear seats can now be released and folded flat with a
single, one-touch operation – from the rear seat or luggage area – so you can
switch effortlessly from three to two to one in seconds, without removing any
seats from the car.

Gross vehicle weight is the total permissible weight of the vehicle including passengers and their luggage. The maximum roof rack loading should not exceed a total of 60kg. The maximum towing weights are based on the ability of the car, with two occupants of
75kg each, to restart on a 12% gradient, which is approximately 1 in 8.3, at sea level. At altitudes above 1500 metres, the engine output may drop with a corresponding reduction in towing capability. Any extra weight, such as luggage or additional passengers, should
be deducted from the maximum towing weight. With a trailer fully loaded, maximum noseweight should not exceed 75kg. Always fit Vauxhall towing attachments and accessories available from your Vauxhall retailer. They are designed specifically for Vauxhall models
and carry a 12-month guarantee.

 Features explained

Technical data
D3. Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) – halogen
Optional at extra cost on Exclusiv and SE, Adaptive Forward Lighting is a sophisticated
lighting system that ‘allows you to see around corners’! AFL makes driving in darkness
not only safer, but also more relaxing. There are two main functions:

. Electronic Stability Programme-plus (ESP-plus) with Enhanced Understeering Control

The system works in conjunction with the car’s traction control set-up, sensing when the
vehicle is about to slide on a bend and applying corrective braking to the appropriate wheel
or wheels, correcting the slide and helping you regain control more rapidly.
Curve light
Speed-dependent, the system is activated by movements of the steering wheel and allows
the headlight beam to move up to 15 degrees outwards and 8 degrees inwards. This
ensures that the main headlight beams are always aimed in the direction you’re about to
go – and not necessarily the direction the front of the car is already pointing in!

Stopping distance at 60mph. Actuating time: 150 milliseconds.

Reduced stopping distance with EBA.

Stopping distance without EBA.

D2. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)

Emergency brake assist detects the urgency with which the brake pedal is pressed and Cornering light
rapidly increases the pressure to the maximum the system can provide, shortening stopping Employs an additional bulb and reflector which projects a beam of light approximately 90º
distances. It also enhances pedal feel. to the direction of travel. This ‘wide angle’ effect provides enhanced illumination of side roads 57
and junctions. Operates at speeds below 25mph.
