Self-help, vehicle care204
Plastic and rubber parts
For additional cleaning of plastic and
rubber parts, use a cleaner suitable for
vehicle interiors. Do not use any other
agent, and in particular do not use solvents
or petrol.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners on
wheels and tyres.
Interior and upholstery
Clean the vehicle interior regularly,
including the instrument panel fascia,
using Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner and brush. To remove stains, use a
cleaner that is suitable for both fabrics and
vinyl.
Open Velcro fastener s on clothing could
damage seat upholstery. Make sure that
Velcro fasteners are closed.
Do not use cleaning agents such as
acetone, carbon te trachloride, paint
thinner, paint remover, nail varnish
remover, washing powder or bleach to
clean fabrics, carpets, the instrument panel
or leather trim 3 in the vehicle interior.
Benzine, petrol, naphth a, enamel reducers
and lacquer thinners are also unsuitable. Avoid over-exposure to vapours from
cleaning agents and
other chemicals when
cleaning. Whenever possible, avoid using
such cleaning agents in small, unventilated
spaces, to avoid inhalation of dangerous
vapours. Open the doors.
If the front seats are equipped with side
airbags 3, do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents on the seat covers.
Do not saturate the seat covers with
Interior/Upholstery Cleaner, to avoid
contaminating the airbag system,
otherwise the side airbags 3 may not
trigger in the event of a collision. Seat belts
Always keep seat be
lts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with lukewarm water
or Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Periodically check the seat belts and
replace immediately with new seat belts if
damage or weakening of the belts has
occurred.
Windows
When cleaning the heated rear window,
make sure that the heating element on the
inside of the window is not damaged.
Never place stickers on the inside of the
rear window.
Use a soft, lint-fr ee cloth or chamois
leather, in conjunction with Window
Cleaning Spray and Insect Remover. Do not
use sharp instruments or abrasive cleaners.
Opel Cleaning Solvent and Antifreeze is
suitable for de-icing windows.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
commercially available sharp-edged ice
scraper. Press the scraper firmly against
the glass so that no dirt can get under it
and scratch the glass.

Self-help, vehicle care205
Windscreen wiper blades
Wax, such as that used in car washes, can
cause streaks to form on the windscreen
when the wipers are used.
Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with
a soft cloth and Opel Cleaning Solvent and
Antifreeze, and replaced if necessary –
see page 198. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
Locks
The locks are lubricated with a high-grade
lock cylinder grease at the factory. Opel
Lock Cylinder Grease prevents the locks
from freezing up.
Only use de-icing agents in emergencies,
as they have a degreasing effect and will
impair the function of the locks. After using
a de-icing agent, have the locks re-greased
by a workshop. Engine compartment
Areas of the engine compartment that are
painted in the same colour as the vehicle
must be looked after
like any other painted
surface.
It is advisable to wash the engine
compartment before and after winter and
preserve it with wax. Cover alternator and
fluid reservoirs with plastic sheets before
washing the engine.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet
cleaner, do not direct the steam-jet at
components of the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), the air conditioning system or the
belt drive and its components.
Protective wax that has been applied is
also removed during the engine wash. For
this reason, have the engine, brake system
components in the engine compartment,
axle components with steering, body parts
and cavities thoroughly preserved with
protective wax after the wash.
An engine wash can be performed in the
spring in order to remove dirt that has
adhered to the engine compartment,
which may also have a high salt content.
Check protective wax layer and make good
if necessary. Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC
undercoating in the wheel arches
(including the longitudinal members) which
provides permanent protection and needs
no special maintenance. The surfaces of
the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC
are provided with a durable protective wax
coating in critical areas.
On vehicles which are washed frequently
in automatic car wash
es with underbody
washing facility, the protective wax
coating may be impaire d by dirt-dissolving
additives. Check the underbody after
washing and have it waxed if necessary.
Before the start of the cold weather season,
check the PVC coating and protective wax
coating and, if necessary, have them
restored to perfect condition.
Caution
– commercially available bitumen/
rubber materials can damage the PVC
coating. We recommend that you have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop, who knows the prescribed
materials and has experience in the use
thereof.
The underbody should be washed
following the end of the cold weather
season to remove any dirt adhering to the
underbody since this may also contain salt.
Check protective wax coating and, if
necessary, have it restored to perfect
condition.
