Introduction
Your vehicle is an intelligent synthesis of
advanced technology, proven safety,
environmental friendliness and economy.
It now lies with you to drive your vehicle
safely and ensure that 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 in which you are
driving. These laws may differ from the
information in this Owner’s Manual.
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 customer literature pack, consisting of
Owner’s Manual, infotainment system
instructions, Service Booklet and Warranty
Booklet should always be kept in the
vehicle: ready to hand in the glove
compartment.
Make use of the Owner’s Manual
zThe "In Brief" section will give you an
initial overview.
zThe table of contents at the beginning
of the owner’s manual and within the
individual chapters will show you where
everything is.
zIts index will help you find what you
want.
zYellow arrows in the illustrations serve
as points of reference or indicate some
action to be performed.
zBlack arrows in the illustrations indicate
a reaction or a second action to be
performed.
zThis Owner’s Manual refers to left-hand
drive vehicles. Operation in right-hand
drive vehicles is similar.
zThe Owner’s Manual makes reference
to internal engine designations. The
associated sales designations are
found in the section "Technical Data".
zDirectional data, e.g. left or right, or
front or back, in the descriptions always
relate to the direction of travel.
