Bulb replacement
Before replacing a bulb , switch off ignition
and relevant switch.
Only hold new bulbs at base! Do not touch
the bulb glass with bare hands, otherwise
fingerprints on the glass evaporate and
residue builds up on the reflector
eventually resulting in a dull reflector.
Inadvertently stained bulbs may be
cleaned with a clean lint-free cloth, using
alcohol or white spirit.
Replacement bulb must be in accordance
with data on base of defective bulb. Do not
exceed wattage given on bulb base.
Headlamp aiming
We recommend that headlamp aiming be
carried out by a work shop, which will have
special equipment.
When aiming your headlamps, the manual
headlamp range adjustment 3 must be set
to 7. Headlamp removal
For bulb replacement, it is necessary to first
remove the headlamp assembly.
1. Switch off ignition and headlamp switch.
2. Open the bonnet, release the 11
retainers and remove the radiator cover.
3. Remove 3 bolts and withdraw headlamp.
4. Depress harness connector tags and disconnect head lamp wiring.
5. Remove the headlamp assembly.
Headlamp assembly installation is the
reverse of removal - ensure locating dowel
aligns with its socket.
Do not overtighten bolts or retainers.

Waxing
Wax your vehicle regularly, in particular
after it has been washed using
Car Shampoo and at the latest when water
no longer forms beads on the paintwork,
otherwise the paintwork will dry out.
Also wax aluminium trim parts, edges and
folds on opened doors and flaps as well as
the areas they cover.
Polishing
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits have
become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms
a protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish.
Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles
with a metallic-effect paint finish. Wheels
Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaning agent to
clean the wheels.
Avoid using abrasive materials and
brushes that can damage the finish.
Wheels are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body. For alloy
wheels, we recommend the use of Alloy
Wheel Preserver.
Paintwork damage
Repair small areas of paint damage such
as stone impacts, scratches etc.
immediately, using an Opel Touch-up
Applicator or Opel Spray and Touch-up
Paint before rust can form. If rust has
already formed, have the cause remedied
by a workshop. Please also pay attention
to surfaces and edges beneath the vehicle
where rust may have formed unnoticed for
some time.
Tar spots
Tar spots must not be removed with hard
objects, but instead
immediately cleaned
off with Tar Removal Spray. Do not use
Tar Removal Spray on headlamp and
other exterior lamp bezels.
Exterior lamps
Headlamp and other protective lamp
bezels are made of plastic. If they require
additional cleaning after the vehicle has
been washed, clean them with
Car Shampoo. Do not use any abrasive or
caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and do not clean them dry.
