Battery discharge protection

Some consumers such as the interior
lighting switch themselves off after approx.
30 minutes if the ignition is off in order to
protect the battery charge. Misted light covers The inside of the lamp bezels may mist
briefly when subjected to adverse wet and
cold winter conditions, strong rain or after
the vehicle is washed. The misting will clear
up on its own after a brief period. This can
be facilitated by switching on the lights.
Headlamps when driving abroad The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the passenger side of
the lane.
This causes glare for oncoming traffic if the
vehicle is driven in countries where traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road.
To avoid glare, have headlamps adjusted
in a wor kshop o r have c overs fitted to both
headlamps.

Mobile telephones and radio
equipment (CB)
3
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/EC).
Recommended prerequisites for fault-free
operation:
zProfessionally installed exterior antenna
to obtain the maximum range possible
zMaximum transmission power 10 Watt,
zInstallation of the telephone in a suitable
spot (see information 360).
Seek advice on predetermined installation
points for the external antenna or
equipment holder and ways of using
devices with a transmission power
exceeding 10 watts.
We recommend that you consult your Opel
Service Partner, which stocks accessories,
brackets and various mounting kits and will
install them correctly. Use of a handsfree attachment without
external antenna with mobile telephone
standards GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS
is only permitted if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile
telephone is 2 watts for GSM 900 or 1 watt
for the other types.
For reasons of safety, we recommend that
you avoid using the phone while driving.
Even the use of the handsfree attachment
could be a distraction from the traffic
situation. Be sure to follow the laws of the
country in which you are driving.

9 Warning
Operate radio equipment and mobile
telephones which fail to meet current
mobile telephone standards only using
an antenna located outside of the
vehicle.
Caution
Mobile phones and radio equipment
may cause malfunctions in the vehicle
electronics if they are operated in the
vehicle without the external antenna
unless the above-mentioned regulations
are complied with.
