Inspection system In order to guarantee economical and safe
vehicle operation and to maintain the
value of your vehicle, it is of vital
importance that all maintenance work is
carried out at the proper intervals.
Fixed service interval
When a service is due, the InSP display
appears in the odometer display when the
ignition is switched on. Have the next
service performed by a workshop within
one week or 500 km (whichever occurs
first). The service interval display takes account
of off-the-road periods during which the
battery is disconnected.
Flexible service interval
3
The length of the service intervals is based
on several parameters stemming from
usage. For this reason, various
engine-specific data is continually
gathered and is used to calculate the
remaining distance until the next service.
If the remaining distance is less than
1500 km, InSP is displayed with a
remaining distance of 1000 km when
the ignition is switched on and off. If less
than 1000 km remains, InSP is displayed
for several seconds. Have the next service
performed by a workshop within one week
or 500 km (whichever occurs first).
Display of remaining distance:
1. Switch off ignition.
2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer reading is shown.
3. Press and hold the reset button for about 2 seconds. InSP and the remaining
distance are displayed. Further information
on maintenance and
the inspection system can be found in the
Service and Warranty Booklet, which is in
the glove compartment.
Have maintenance work – and repair work
on the body and the equipment – carried
out professionally by a workshop. We
recommend using your Opel partner, who
has excellent knowledge of Opel vehicles
and has the necessary special tools and
up-to-date service inst ructions from Opel.
It is particularly advisable to use an Opel
Partner during the warranty period in order
to prevent loss of warranty. Further
information can be found in the Service
and Warranty Booklet.
Separate anti-corrosion service
Have this work done at the intervals given
in the Service and Warranty Booklet.

244 Opel Service, maintenanceDiesel fuel filter On the event of engine oil change, have
fuel filter checked for possible water
residue by a workshop.
Illumination of A indicates water in the
fuel filter 3.
Have fuel filter checked at shorter intervals
if the vehicle is subjected to extreme
operating conditions such as high humidity
(primarily in coastal areas), extremely high
or low outside temperatures and
substantially varying daytime and
night-time temperatures.
Coolant The coolant provid es anti-freeze
protection down to approx. -28 C. .
Picture no: 18148s.tif
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Have the concentration of the radiator
contents tested by a workshop before
winter starts. The amount of
antifreezemust provide protection down to
approx. -28 C. A lower antifreeze
concentration will reduce the amount of
protection from fros t and corrosion. Add
antifreeze if necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with water,
have concentration checked and add
antifreeze if necessary.
Caution
Only use approved anti-freeze.
Coolant additives used to give addi-
tional protection aga inst corrosion and
prevention against small leaks can lead
to functional problems. No liability is
accepted for damage caused by using
coolant additives.
9
Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health; it must
therefore be kept in the original con-
tainer and out of the reach of children.

Brake fluid The brake fluid level must be between
theMIN and the MAX marks. When topping up, ensure maximum
cleanliness as contamination of the brake
fluid can lead to func
tion problems in the
braking system.
Only use approved high performance
brake fluids. Only us e brake fluid DOT4.
After correcting the brake fluid level, have
the cause of the loss of brake fluid
remedied by a workshop. Brake fluid change
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs
water. If the brakes become hot, such as
when driving on long downhill stretches,
vapour bubbles can occur in the water,
which can have an extremely adverse
effect on braking power (depending on the
proportion of water).
Keep to the specified intervals.
9
Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Do not allow it to come into contact with
eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.
9
Warning
Have the brake fluid change performed
by a workshop. Please comply with the
legal environmental and health regula-
tions – concerning the disposal of brake
fluid.
