Brake fluid Changing brake fluid
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i. e. it absorbs
water. If the brakes become hot, such as
when driving on long downhill stretches,
vapour bubbles can form in the water,
which can have an extremely adverse
effect on braking power (depending on the
proportion of water).
Therefore, keep to the specified change
intervals.

Windscreen wiper replacement Wiper blades on the windscreen
Lift wiper arm. Move release lever and
detach wiper blade.
Picture no: 9392t.tif
Wiper blades 3 on the rear window
Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper blade as
shown in illustration and remove.
9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Do not allow it to come into contact with
eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.
9 Warning
Have the brake fluid change performed
by a workshop. Please comply with the
legal environmental and health
regulations – concerning the disposal of
brake fluid.

Windscreen washer system Reservoir for windscreen washer and rear
windscreen washer at driver’s side in
engine compartment.
Fill with clean water mixed with cleaner
and anti-freeze.
Make sure there is sufficient anti-freeze
protection.
When closing the reservoir, press the lid
firmly over the beaded edge all the way
round.

Battery The vehicle battery is maintenance-free.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at an
appropriate recycling collection point.
The retrofitting of electrical or electronic
accessories may subject the battery to
additional loading and cause it to become
discharged. Please seek advice concerning
the technical options, such as installing a
more powerful battery. Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to battery discharge.
Disconnect the negative terminal of the
vehicle battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off before
connecting or disconnecting the vehicle
battery.
Protecting electronic components In order to prevent faults in electronic
components in the electrical system, never
connect or disconnect battery with engine
running or ignition switched on. Never start
engine with battery disconnected, e.g.
when starting using jump leads.
To avoid damaging the vehicle, do not
make any modifications to the electrical
system, e. g. connecting additional
consumers or tampering with electronic
control units (chip tuning).
9 Warning
Electronic ignition systems generate very
high voltages. Do not touch the ignition
system; high voltage can be fatal.

Opel Service, maintenance
Laying the vehicle up for a long
period of time If the vehicle is to be laid up for several
months, the following work should be
undertaken to prevent damage.
zWash and wax the vehicle 3161.
zHave the wax in the engine
compartment and underbody checked.
zClean and preserve rubber seals.

well-ventilated place. With manual
transmission select first or reverse gear;
with manual transmission automated 3
move the selector lever to the centre
position before switching the ignition off.
Use chocks or the like to prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
zDo not apply hand brake.
zDisconnect the clamp from the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery.
Putting the vehicle back into
servicePerform the following work before
recommissioning the vehicle:
zConnect the clamp to the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery.
zCheck tyre pressure 3121, 3191.
zTop up the windscreen washer system
3180.
zCheck engine oil level 3175.
zCheck coolant level 3178.
zFit the number plate if necessary.

186 Technical dataFuel consumption, CO
2-emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed by
2004/3/EC) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption since
1996.
The directive is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urban driving is rated at
approx.
1/3 and off-road driving with
approx. 2/3 (urban and extra-urban
consumption). Cold starts and acceleration
phases are also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2 emission is also a
constituent of the directive.The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
All values stem from the EU base model
with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
specified by directive 2004/3/EC takes
account of the vehicle’s kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with the said
regulation. Optional extras may result in
slightly higher fuel consumption and CO
2
emission levels than those quoted.
Saving Fuel, Protecting the Environment
3108.
Fuel consumption, natural gasThe data on fuel consumption has been
ascertained with reference fuel G20
(methane content 99 - 100 mol%) under
prescribed driving conditions (see previous
columns). The fuel consumption values will
deviate from those specified if natural gas
with a lower methane content is used.
All values stem from the EU base model
with standard equipment. The
consumption calculated according to the
1999/100/EC directive takes into
consideration the kerb weight laid down in
agreement with this regulation. Additional
equipment as well as the gas condition,
filling station pressure, mode of driving and
the road and traffic conditions can lead to
higher consumptions and CO
2 values than
those specified.
