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.

Driving and operation
Save energy – more kilometres
Please observe the running-in hints on the
previous page and the tips for saving
energy on the following pages.
Good, technically correct and economical
driving ensures maximum durability and
performance for your vehicle.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is
driven with a gear engaged but no throttle
application. Overrun cut-off is deactivated
if catalytic converter temperature is high.
Vehicles with turbocharged engine
Flow-generated noises may be audible if
the accelerator is released quickly on
account of air flow in the turbocharger.
Engine speed
Drive in a low engine speed range for each
gear as much as possible. Warming up
Allow the engine to warm up while driving.
Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling
speed. Do not apply full throttle until the
engine has reached operating
temperature.
In automatic mode, the manual
transmission automated 3 does not shift to
the higher gears after a cold start until
higher engine speeds are reached. This
allows the catalytic converter to quickly
reach the temperature that is required for
optimum pollutant reduction.
Correct gear selection
Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or
with a low gear selected. Driving too fast in
individual gears as well as stop-and-go
traffic increases engine wear and fuel
consumption.
Change down
When decreasing speed, shift down into
the next lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch
with a high-revving engine. This is
especially important when hill climbing. Cooling fan
The cooling fan is controlled via a
thermoswitch and therefore only runs if
necessary.
The cooling fan automatically switches on
when the diesel particle filter is being
cleaned 3 depending on the engine.
Pedals
Do not place any objects in the foot well
which could slip under the pedals and
inhibit the pedal travel.
To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited,
there must be no mats in the area of the
pedals.
Battery care
When driving slowly or when the vehicle is
stationary, e.g. in slow urban traffic, stop-
and-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all
unnecessary electrical loads where
possible (e.g. heated rear window, heated
front seats, etc.).
Declutch when starting in order to relieve
the strain on the starter and the battery.
