AUX input
3
The AUX input is located on the centre
console, between the seats.
An external audio source such as a
portable CD player can be connected via
the AUX input with a 3.5 mm jack plug.
Keep AUX input clean and dry at all times.
Further information is found in the
infotainment system instructions.
Mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB)
3
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/EC).
Recommended prerequisites for fault-free
operation:
zProfessionally installed exterior antenna
to obtain the maximum range possible
zMaximum transmission power 10 Watt,
zInstallation of the telephone in a suitable
spot (see information 360).
Seek advice on predetermined installation
points for the external antenna or
equipment holder and ways of using
devices with a transmission power
exceeding 10 watts.
We recommend that you consult your Opel
Service Partner, which stocks accessories,
brackets and various mounting kits and will
install them correctly. Use of a handsfree attachment without
external antenna with mobile telephone
standards GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS
is only permitted if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile
telephone is 2 watts for GSM 900 or 1 watt
for the other types.
For reasons of safety, we recommend that
you avoid using the phone while driving.
Even the use of the handsfree attachment
could be a distraction from the traffic
situation. Be sure to follow the laws of the
country in which you are driving.

9 Warning
Operate radio equipment and mobile
telephones which fail to meet current
mobile telephone standards only using
an antenna located outside of the
vehicle.
Caution
Mobile phones and radio equipment
may cause malfunctions in the vehicle
electronics if they are operated in the
vehicle without the external antenna
unless the above-mentioned regulations
are complied with.

Heating, ventilation and air
conditioning system
3
Ventilation, heating and cooling 3 are
combined into one unit that is designed to
provide comfort regardless of the season,
weather or outside temperature.
When cooling 3 is activated, the air is
cooled and dried.
The heating unit heats the air as required in
all operating modes depending on the
position of the temperature switch. The air
supply can be adjusted to suit
requirements by means of the fan.
Picture no: 11620s.tif
The buttons for cooling n and air
recirculation 4 are only found on
versions with optional air conditioning
system 3.

Air vents At least one air vent must be open while
cooling 3 (air conditioning compressor) is
on in order to prevent the evaporator from
icing up due to lack of air movement.
Comfortable ventilation of the interior is
based on the position of the temperature
switch.
To increase the air supply, set the fan to a
higher speed and set the air distribution
switch to M or L.
Picture no: 11617s.tif
Centre and side (1) air vents
The air flow can be directed as desired by
tilting and swivelling the slats.
Temperature switch in centre area: Air
from the centre vents is cooler than the air
from the side air vents.
To close the vents, push the slider towards
the centre of the vehicle.
Windscreen defroster nozzles (2)
Air distribution switch set to V or J: Air is
directed onto the windscreen and the door
windows. Additional vents
Located in front of the windscreen, in front
of the door mirrors and in the front foot
wells.

Heating and ventilation systemTemperature
Adjusted using left-hand rotary switch.
The amount of heat is dependent on the
coolant temperature and is thus not fully
attained until the engine is warm.
Picture no: 11613s.tif
Air flow
Adjusted using centre rotary switch.
The rate of air flow is determined by the
fan. The fan should therefore also be
switched on during a journey.

Air distribution

Ventilation
zSet the temperature to the desired
setting.
zSwitch fan on, select fan setting
according to requirements.
zFor maximum ventilation in headroom:
move air distribution switch to M, open
all ventilation nozzles.
zFor ventilation to foot well: Set air
distribution switch to K.
zFor simultaneous ventilation to the head
area and the foot well: Set air
distribution switch to L. Heating
For rapid warming of the passenger
compartment:
zTurn the temperature switch clockwise as
far as it will go (warm).
zSet the fan to speed 3.
zSet the air distribution switch to the
desired position, preferably position J
394.
The comfort and general well-being of the
vehicle occupants are to a large extent
dependent on a suitable ventilation and
heating setting.
To achieve temperature stratification
with the pleasant effect of "cool head and
warm feet", move rotary air distribution
switch toK, J or L and move rotary
temperature switch to any position (in
central area with temperature
stratification effect).

Demisting and defrosting the windows
Misted or icy windows, e. g. due to damp
weather, damp clothing or low outside
temperatures:zTurn the temperature switch clockwise as
far as it will go (warm).
zSet fan to 3 or 4.
zSet air distribution switch to V.
zActivate heated rear window Ü.
zOpen side air vents as required and
direct them towards side windows.
zFor simultaneous warming of the foot
well, set air distribution switch to J.
Air conditioning system
3
In addition to the effects of the heating
and ventilation system, the air conditioning
system cools and dehumidified (dries) the
inflowing air.
If no cooling or dehumidification is
required, switch off cooling to save fuel.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
9 Warning
Failure to follow the description could
lead to misting or icing of the windows,
which in turn could lead an accident
stemming from lack of visibility.

Cooling n
Only operate with the engine and fan
running. Activate and deactivate with
then button.
When cooling (air-conditioning
compressor) is on, the air is cooled and
dried. If no cooling or drying is required,
switch off cooling to save fuel.
Cooling switches off automatically at low
outside temperatures.
When cooling operates, condensation
forms and drips from the underside of the
vehicle.
Picture no: 13202s.tif
Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode of the
ventilation system is activated and
deactivated by pressing the 4 button.
If fumes or unpleasant odours penetrate
from outside: temporarily switch on air
recirculation system 4.
To increase cooling at high outside
temperatures, switch on the air
recirculation system briefly.Air distribution to V: the air recirculation
system is automatically switched off to
speed up window demisting and prevent
fogging.
9 Warning
The air recirculation system minimises
the entry of outside air. The humidity
increases, and the windows can mist up.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates which
may cause vehicle occupants to feel
drowsy.
