Locks, doors, windows24
Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote control, this may
be due to the following reasons:
zThe remote control is out of range.
z The battery voltage of the remote
control is too low. Change the battery in
the remote control unit.
z The remote control has been repeatedly
operated outside the vehicle’s reception
range (e.g. at too great a distance from
the vehicle). The remote control must be
reprogrammed. We recommend you
consult your Opel Partner.
z The system has been overloaded as a
result of repeated operation at short
intervals. The power supply is cut-off for
a brief period.
z Interference from higher power radio
waves from other sources.
Lock or unlock the doors manually using
the key or central locking switch -
see page 25.
Have cause of fault remedied by a
workshop. Changing battery in remote control unit
Replace the battery in accordance with the
information on pages 206 to 212 or when
the range of the remote control starts to
become reduced.

IEngine oil pressure
Illuminates in red when ignition is switched
on. Extinguishes after engine is started.
Can illuminate intermit tently when idling
with hot engine; must extinguish when
engine speed is increased.
If
it illuminates during driving;
engine oil pressure may be dangerously
low, interrupting engine lubrication and
resulting in damage to the engine and/or
locking of the driving wheels:
z Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly
as possible without impeding other
vehicles,
z Depress clutch,
z Move gearshift lever to neutral
(automatic transmission to N),
z Switch off ignition. Check engine oil level before consulting
a workshop. If the oil level is low, top up
using the specified engine oil - see pages
192, 213, 217.
If the oil level is normal, have a workshop
check the vehicle’s lubricating system.
pAlternator
Illuminates in red when ignition is switched
on. Extinguishes after engine is started.
If
it illuminates during driving:
stop vehicle and switch off engine. The
battery is not being charged and the
engine cooling may be interrupted. The
brake servo unit may cease to be effective.
Interrupt your journey immediately.
Remove key and check drive belt condition
and tensioning before consulting a
workshop.
ZExhaust emissions
Illuminates in yellow when ignition is
switched on. Extinguishes after engine is
started. Can illuminate briefly when
driving; this is normal and does not
indicate a system fault.
If it illuminates when the engine is running
;
fault in emission control system.
The permitted emission limits may be
exceeded. Fuel economy and vehicle
driveability may be impaired.
The control indicator also illuminates if
there is a fault in the diesel particle filter 3.
Consult a workshop as soon as possible.
If it flashes when the engine is running
;
for a fault that can lead to destruction of
the catalytic converter, see page 134.

Battery discharge protecti on will not work if
the lamps are turned on 10 minutes after
the ignition has been switched off; the key
cannot be removed from the ignition switch
until the battery is recharged.
Headlamps when driving abroad
The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the near side of the
lane.
When driving in coun tries which drive on
the opposite side of the road, this causes
glare for oncoming traffic.
For temporary periods, to avoid glare the
headlamp pattern should be adjusted
down to the horizontal position.
Have the headlamps adjusted by a
workshop.

Driving and operation120
Fault Z
If a fault occurs in the automatic
transmission, control indicator Z will
illuminate in the instrument panel.
Automatic shifting may be much harsher
than normal or, in the case of a serious
fault, cancelled altogether.
Consult a workshop as soon as possible to
have the cause of the fault eliminated. Interruption of power supply
The clutch is not disengaged if the vehicle
battery is discharged and a gear has been
selected. The vehicle cannot move.
If the battery is flat, the selector lever
cannot be moved out of position
P or N.
Start the vehicle using jump leads -
see page 172. If the cause of the interruption to the power
supply is not a discharged battery, release
selector lever:
Have cause of power supply interruption
remedied immediately. Consult a
