Radio reception 3
Vehicle radio reception will differ from
that obtained with domestic radios.
As the vehicle antenna is relatively
near the ground, the broadcasting
companies cannot guarantee the
same quality of reception as is
obtained with a domestic radio using
an overhead antenna.
„Changes in distance from the
transmitter
„multi-path reception due to
reflection and
„shadowing
may cause hissing, noise, distortion
or loss of reception altogether.
AM-FM radio
The Infotainment system provides the
following wavebands:
AM (Long Wave and Medium Wave)
and FM (Frequency Modulation).
In addition, a manual storing and
automatic storing facility is available
on each of the wavebands, where stations can be manually or
automatically stored and recalled
using the preset stations buttons 1-6.
Radio mode
To enter radio mode when the
Infotainment system is switched-off
or while in any other mode, press the
FM/AM button h. The last station
selected is received.
Wavebands appear in the following
order when the FM/AM button h is
pressed repeatedly:
„FM1,
„FM2,
„LW,
„MW1,
„MW2.
Automatic search
To search for the next or previous
radio station, press and hold the
hbutton j (higher frequency) or
gbutton i (lower frequency) for
approx. 1 second and release.
The Infotainment system will tune to
the next receivable radio station on
the selected waveband.If ‘AF’ has been switched on
previously, the unit only searches for
RDS stations.
Station memory
In each waveband, 6 stations can be
stored under preset station memory
locations 1-6.
To store stations manually
Tune to the desired waveband and
station. Press and hold the preset
station button (1-6) for approx.
2 seconds where the selected station
is to be stored. Previously stored
stations are overwritten.
To store stations automatically
Tune to the desired waveband. Press
and hold the AST button 4 for
approx. 2 seconds. 6 stations with
strong signals are automatically
stored under preset station memory
locations 1-6. Previously stored
stations are overwritten.
If ‘AF’ has been switched on
previously, the unit only searches for
RDS stations.

7-7Infotainment system
If less than 6 stations with strong
signals can be received, the number
of preset stations may be less than 6.
If no stations with strong signals can
be received, previously stored
stations are reset.
When automatic storing is complete,
the radio station stored under preset
station memory location 1 is
received.
To exit automatic storing while storing
is in progress, press the AST
button4 again. Previously stored
stations are not overwritten.
Recalling stored stations
To recall a station stored under one of
the preset station memory locations
1-6, tune to the desired waveband
and press the relevant preset station
button (1-6). The station
corresponding to the preset station
button is received.
If a station is not stored on the
selected preset station button (1-6),
“- - -” will appear in the display.RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a European service provided
by broadcasting companies, which
makes finding the required FM station
much easier and aids good reception.
RDS stations transmit information
which is automatically evaluated by
the RDS radio.
In some areas, other functions
associated with RDS are available,
e.g. TA (Traffic Announcement) and
REG (Regionalisation).
AF (Alternative Frequency)
An RDS program is transmitted on
several frequencies simultaneously.
With AF on, during the journey the
Infotainment system automatically
searches for the strongest receivable
frequency.
REG (Regionalisation)
Some RDS stations transmit different
regional programs over different
frequencies at certain times.
With REG on, when searching for the
frequency of a radio program with the
strongest reception using AF (Alternative Frequency), the
Infotainment system always remains
tuned to the selected regional
program.
With REG off, when searching for the
frequency of a radio program with the
strongest reception using AF
(Alternative Frequency), the
Infotainment system does not
consider regional programs.
Switching AF and REG on and off
Settings appears in the following
order when the AF button 7 is
pressed repeatedly:
„AF on/REG off,
„AF on/REG on,
„AF off, REG off.
With AF and/or REG active, “AF” and
“REG” appear in the display
respectively.PTY (Program Type)
Many RDS stations transmit a PTY
code that indicates the type of
program being broadcast

assistance of a workshop.
„Do not use commercially available
CD protection sheets or discs
equipped with stabilisers, as they
may get trapped in the internal
mechanism.
„Do not use any abrasive chemicals,
cleaning solutions or strong
cleaners. Use only a soft cloth
moistened with soapy water.
„The system must only be serviced
by trained specialists. Faulty
installation or servicing may
invalidate the unit’s warranty.Mobile telephones and
radio equipment (CB) 3
Installation and operation
The Opel installation instructions and
the operating guidelines provided by
the telephone manufacturer must be
observed when fitting and operating a
mobile telephone.
Failure to do so could invalidate the
vehicle’s operating permit
(EU Directive 95/54/EG).
Requirements to ensure trouble-free
operation:
„Professionally installed exterior
antenna, to obtain the maximum
range possible
„Maximum transmission power
10 Watts.
„Installation of the telephone in a
suitable spot (front centre console).
Obtain advice on predetermined
installation locations for the external
antenna and equipment holder and
ways of using devices with
transmission power of more than
10 Watts.

7-11Infotainment system
Operation of a handsfree attachment
with no outside antenna, using the
mobile telephone standards GSM
900/1800/1900 and UMTS, may take
place only if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile
telephone does not exceed 2 Watts,
in the case of GSM 900, and
otherwise 1 Watt.
For safety reasons, we recommend
that you do not use the phone while
driving. Even use of a handsfree set
can be a distraction while driving.
Observe any country-specific
regulations.
When used in the vehicle interior,
mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB) with integrated
antenna may cause malfunctions in
the vehicle electronics.
9 Warning
Mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB) should only be
used with an antenna fitted on the
vehicle exterior.
