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.

initial overview.

of the owner’s manual and within the
