airbags 3, do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents on the seat covers.

replace immediately with new seat belts if
damage or weakening of the belts has
occurred.

make sure that the heating element on the
inside of the window is not damaged.

rear window.

leather, in conjunction with Window

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

the glass so that no dirt can get under it
and scratch the glass.
