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 Opel. Furthermore, such
changes may affect driver assistance
systems, may impact fuel or electric
power consumption, CO
2
and other emissions of the vehicle
and cause the vehicle to no longer
conform to the operating permit,
impacting the validity of your vehicle
registration.
Access to the diagnostic socket
associated with the on-board
electronics is reserved for
qualified technicians and
approved tools.
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Cold protection covers
In order to prevent the accumulation
of snow at the radiator cooling fan, it
is recommended to install removable
protection covers.
The protection covers must be
emissions
professionally installed. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Caution

equipment
The vehicle specific installation

observed when installing and
operating a mobile telephone. Failure

type approval (EU directive 95/54/
