Introduction

Your vehicle is an intelligent combination of forward-looking technology, impressive 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 that you are travelling through. These laws may differ from the information in this Owner’s Manual.

When instructed to seek the assistance of a workshop, we recommend that you consult an Opel Service Partner. All Opel Service Partners offer first-class service at reasonable prices. Experienced

mechanics, trained by Opel, work according to specific Opel instructions.
