–It is very hot.
Whe n the te mperature returns to
normal, the CD should play.
– You are driving on a v ery rough road.
When the road surfa ce becomes
smoother, the C D should play .
If the CD is not playing corre ctly, for any
other reason, try a known good C D.
If any e rror occ urs repe ated ly or if an e rror

When dev eloping and manufac turing your
vehicle, Opel used environment-friendly
and prima rily recy clable materials . The
production methods used to ma ke your
vehicle are likewise environmenta lly-
compatible .
Recycling of production wastes keeps the
circulation of material clos ed. Re duction of

Dr ive in an energy a nd environment-
consc ious w ay
zHigh fuel consumption, noise lev els and
exhaust em issions are often caused by a
driving s tyle that is not energy and
environment-conscious.
zYou should therefore drive with energy in
mind: "more kilometre s/ miles with le ss
fuel".
Reduce the noise level and exhaust
emissions b y adopting an environment-
consc ious driving s tyle. This is ex treme ly
worthwhile and im proves the quality of
life.
Fuel consum ption d epend s to a great
extent on your own personal d riv ing
style. The following hints are intended to
help you consume fuel at a rate that is as
clos e as poss ible to the spe cified le vels –

zFull throttle and w arming up at idle
speed increase w ear, fuel consumption,
ex haust em issions, the amount of
pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount

zDo not accele rate a nd brake
unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed.
Avoid frequent starting-off and
stopping, e.g. at traffic lights, in short
distance traffic and in que ue s of tra ffic,
by m eans of clev er planning. S ele ct
roa ds with good traffic flow.

L eade d fuel will damage the catalytic

system, thereby rendering them
inoperative .
High qua lity fuels other tha n those liste d on
page s 11 4 and 1 7 5 (e .g. LRP
1)) could
dam age the catalytic conv erter.Damage to the ca talytic conve rte r or the
vehicle may res ult if the follow ing points
are not obs erve d:
zC onsult a workshop as quickly a s
pos sible in the e ve nt of misfiring,
irregular engine running following a cold
s tart, a s ignificant los s of engine power
or other unusual m alfunctions w hich
may indicate a fault in the ignition
system. If necessary, driving ma y be
continue d for a short time at a low spe ed
and w ith a low engine sp ee d.
Irregular engine running and lack of
powe r when the Ele ctronic S tability
Program (E SP) kicks in are for
ope ra tional re as ons and ca n be
ignored – s ee page 1 19 .zIf unburned fuel enters the catalytic
conv erter, this may res ult in ove rhe ating
and irre parable damage to the c atalytic
conv erter.
You should therefore avoid
unnecessarily long use of the starter
when starting-off, running the tank d ry
(an irre gular fuel s upply w ill lead to
overhea ting) and starting the e ngine by
pushing or towing.
zIf the e mis sion control ind ic ator Z

Flashing with the engine running indicates
a fault that may damage the catalytic

without caus ing damage by slowing down
until the fla shing stop s and the control
