General Information

Accessories and vehicle
modifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Any modification, conversion or other
changes made to standard vehicle
specifications (including, without
limitation, software modifications,
modifications of the electronic control
units) may invalidate the warranty
offered by Vauxhall. Furthermore,
such changes may affect driver
assistance systems, fuel
consumption, CO emissions and
2
other emissions of the vehicle. They
may also invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
