60 Seats, InteriorImportant
zNo objects or accessories must be placed
in the area in which the airbags inflate,
as they could cause injury when the
components are deployed.
zDo not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants. Danger of injury. Do not
install a child restraint system 3 on the
front passenger seat. Danger to life.
zUse the hooks in the roof frame only to
hang up light articles of clothing or coat
hangers. Do not place any objects in the
pockets of the hanging items – risk of
injury.
zThe airbag systems and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area. zDo not stick anything on the steering
wheel, instrumnet panel or front seat
backrests in the vicinity of the airbags.
Do not cover any of these areas with
other materials.
zUse only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front seat backrests. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
zOnly protective covers which are
approved for your vehicle with side
airbag may be fitted on the front seats.
When fitting the protective covers, make
sure that the airbag units on the
outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.
zThe airbag systems are triggered
independently of one another
depending on the severity of the
accident and type of impact.
zEach airbag is only deployed once. Have
deployed airbags replaced by a
workshop immediately.
zThe speeds, directions of movement and
deformation properties of the vehicles,
and the properties of the obstacle
concerned, determine the severity of the
accident and triggering of the airbags.
The degree of damage to your vehicle
and the resulting repair costs alone are
not indicative that the criteria for
triggering of the airbags were met. zDo not perform any alterations on the
components of the airbag system, as this
would render the vehicle unroadworthy.
zWe recommend having the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling
parts, the door seals, the handles and
the seats removed by a workshop.
zThe applicable safety regulations must
be adhered to when the vehicle is
disposed of. The vehicle should therefore
be disposed of by a recycling company.
zAnyone weighing less than 35 kg should
seat in the rear seat.
9 Warning
As with any other object, child restaint
systems must not be carried on a
passenger’s lap. Danger to life.
9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an explosive
manner – risk of injury!

Air intake The air intakes in front of the windscreen on
the far left and right-hand sides of the
engine compartment must be kept free of
leaves, dirt and snow so as not to obstruct
the air supply. Air outletDo not cover the air outlets when stowing
objects in the luggage compartment. Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans dust, soot, pollen
and spores from the air entering from
outside. The active carbon layer 3
eliminates most odours and noxious
environmental gases from the air.
Regular operationTo make sure that the AC compressor
is constantly working well, the cooling
system3 must be switched on several
minutes once a month regardless of the
weather or season. It is not possible to
activate cooling when outside
temperatures are low. Service For optimal cooling performance, we
recommend that the climate control
system be checked annually, starting
three years after initial vehicle registration.

124 Driving and operationTyre designations
Meanings:
e.g. 175/70 R 14 79 T
Speed code letters: Winter tyres 3
Instructions on fitting new tyres 3121.
Limitations 3191.
Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 C.
The design of summer tyres means they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker 3 in the
driver’s field of view.
Use of a spare wheel fitted with a summer
tyre may affect the vehicle’s driveability,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as
soon as possible, and have the wheel
balanced and fitted to the vehicle.
Wheel trims 3
The use of wheel trims and tyres that Opel
has approved for the vehicle and therefore
fulfill all requirements for the relevant
combination of wheels and tyres.
If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
Opel-approved, the tyres must not have a
beaded edge. Wheel trims must not impair brake cooling.
Remove the wheel trims if fitting tyre
chains3.
175= Tyre width in mm
70= Cross-section ratio (tyre height to
tyre width in %)
R= Belt type Radial
14= Rim diameter in inches
79= Load index e. g.: 79 corresponds
to 437 kg
T= Speed code letter
Q= up to 160 km/h
S= up to 180 km/h
T= up to 190 km/h
H= up to 210 km/h
V= up to 240 km/h
W= up to 270 km/h
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims
could lead to sudden loss of air and
thereby accidents.
162 Self-help, vehicle careExterior lights
Headlamp and other lamp lens are made
of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or
caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and do not clean them dry.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned
with the same cleaner as used to clean the
body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do
not use any other agent. Avoid solvents
and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
Interior and upholstery
Clean the vehicle interior, including the
instrument panel fascia, using interior
cleaner.
The instrument panel is only to be cleaned
with a soft, damp cloth.
Clean the fabric upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an
upholstery cleaner.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or
interior cleaner. Windows and windscreen wiper blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather
together with window cleaner and insect
remover.
When cleaning the rear window, make sure
the heating element inside the window is
not damaged.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-
edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly
against the glass so that no dirt can get
under it and scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft
cloth and window cleaner.
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory
using a high quality lock cylinder grease.
Use de-icing agent only where absolutely
necessary, as this removes grease and
impairs lock function. After using de-icing
agent, have the locks regreased by a
workshop. Engine compartment
Clean painted surfaces in the engine
compartment like any other painted
surface.
For best results, wash and wax the engine
compartment before and after winter.
Before washing the engine, cover the
alternator and brake fluid reservoir with
plastic sheeting.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet
cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at
components of the Anti-lock Braking
System 3, the automatic air conditioning
system 3 or the belt drive and its
components.
After an engine wash, have all engine room
components preserved thoroughly by a
workshop using protective wax.
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro
fasteners on clothing could damage
seat upholstery.
