Installation instructions and
operating guidelines
The vehicle specific installation
instructions and the operating
guidelines of the mobile phone and
hands-free manufacturer must be
observed when installing and
operating a mobile telephone. Failure to do so could invalidate the vehicle
operating permit (EU directive 95/54/
EC).
Recommendations for fault-free
operation:
● Professionally installed exterior antenna to obtain the maximum
range possible
● Maximum transmission power 10 W
● Installation of the phone in a suitable spot, consider relevant
Note in the Owner's Manual
3 45Seek advice on predetermined
installation points for the external
antenna or equipment holder and
ways of using devices with a
transmission power exceeding 10 W.
Use of a hands-free 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 W for GSM 900 or
1 W for the other types.
For reasons of safety, do not use the
phone while driving. Even use of a hands-free set can be a distraction
while driving.9 Warning
Operation of radio equipment and
mobile telephones which fail to
meet above mentioned mobile
telephone standards is only
permitted using an antenna
located outside of the vehicle.
Caution
Mobile telephones and radio
equipment may lead to
malfunctions in the vehicle
electronics when operated inside
the vehicle with no exterior
antenna, unless the above
mentioned regulations are
observed.

Customer information257Vehicle data recording
and privacy
Event data recorders Data storage modules in the
vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules, systems
or the environment:
● operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels)
● status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g.
number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration,
lateral acceleration)
● dysfunctions and defects in important system components● vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations ( e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system)
● environmental conditions (e.g. temperature)
These data are exclusively technical
and help identifying and correcting
errors as well as optimising vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with these
data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty
cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules applying special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive
further information at these
workshops. After an error has been
corrected, the data are deleted from
the error storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.) may
be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases)
allow the transmission of particular
vehicle data from the vehicle.
Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some
vehicles for functions such as tyre
pressure monitoring and immobiliser
system. It is also used in connection
with conveniences such as radio
remote controls for door locking /
unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage door openers.
RFID technology in Opel vehicles
does not use or record personal
information or link with any other Opel system containing personal
information.
