Introduction
Your vehicle is an intelligent combination
of forward-looking technology, impressive
safety, environmental friendliness and
economy.
It now lies with you to drive your vehicle
safely and to see it performs perfectly. This
Owner’s Manual provides you with all the
necessary information to that end.
Make sure your passengers are aware of
the possible risk of accident and injury
which may result from improper use of the
vehicle.
You must always comply with the specific
laws of the country that you are in. These
laws may differ from the information in this

When this Manual refers to a workshop visit,
we recommend your Opel Service Partner.
All Opel Service Partners provide first-class
service at reasonable prices. Experienced
mechanics trained by Opel work according
to specific Opel instructions.
The Owner’s Manual, infotainment system
instructions and the vehicle Service and
Warranty Booklet should always be kept
ready to hand in the vehicle glove
compartment.
