Seat belts
Always keep seat belts clean and dry.
Clean only with lukewarm water or Cleaner.
Windows
Use a soft fluff-free cloth or chamois leather in
conjunction with Window Cleaning Spray.
Opel Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitable for
de-icing windows.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
commercially available sharp-edged ice
scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the
glass so that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Windscreen wiper blade
A smearing wiper blade should be cleaned
with a soft cloth and Opel Windscreen Wash
Solvent, and replaced if necessary.
Locks
The locks are lubricated before they leave the
factory with a high-grade lock cylinder
grease. Opel lock cylinder grease prevents
the looks from freezing up. Use de-icing
agents only in emergencies, as they have a
degreasing effect and will impair the
functioning of the locks. After using de-icing
agents regrease the locks.
Engine compartment
Important areas of the engine compartment
have been provided with permanent
protection at the factory in the form of a high-
quality, smooth protective lacquer coating.
Parts of the engine compartment lacquered in
the same colour as the vehicle's
can be treated in the same way as all painted
surfaces. Wash engine only if absolutely
necessary. Before washing the engine,
protect alternator and load compartment with
plastic covers.
when washing the engine with a steam-jet
cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at the belt
drive and its components.
Underbody
The underbody should be washed following
the end of the cold weather season to remove
any dirt adhering to the underbody.
