Installation and operation
The Opel installation instructions and
the operating guidelines provided by
the telephone manufacturer must be
observed when fitting and operating a
mobile telephone.
Failure to do so could invalidate the
vehicle’s operating permit
(EU Directive 95/54/EG).
Requirements to ensure trouble-free
operation:
„Professionally installed exterior
antenna, to obtain the maximum
range possible
„Maximum transmission power
10 Watts.
„Installation of the telephone in a
suitable spot (front centre console).
Obtain advice on predetermined
installation locations for the external
antenna and equipment holder and
ways of using devices with
transmission power of more than
10 Watts.

7-11Infotainment system
Operation of a handsfree attachment
with no outside antenna, using the
mobile telephone standards GSM
900/1800/1900 and UMTS, may take
place only if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile
telephone does not exceed 2 Watts,
in the case of GSM 900, and
otherwise 1 Watt.
For safety reasons, we recommend
that you do not use the phone while
driving. Even use of a handsfree set
can be a distraction while driving.
Observe any country-specific
regulations.
When used in the vehicle interior,
mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB) with integrated
antenna may cause malfunctions in
the vehicle electronics.
9 Warning
Mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB) should only be
used with an antenna fitted on the
vehicle exterior.

9-1 Driving and operating
Driving and
operatingStarting the vehicle
Driving hints
During the first 1000 km (600 miles),
drive your vehicle at various speeds.
Do not use full throttle. Never allow
the engine to labour at low revs.
Make good use of all gears. Depress
the accelerator pedal a maximum of
around three quarters of the available
pedal travel in all gears and drive
ranges.
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first 200 km (125 miles).
When the vehicle is driven for the first
time, wax and oil on the exhaust
system may evaporate, producing
smoke-like emissions which should
not be inhaled. Allow wax and oil to
evaporate while the vehicle is in the
open air.
Never coast with engine not running
as many units may then not function
(e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering, airbag system). Driving in
this manner is a danger to yourself
and others.Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.
