The rear camera mirror has a
limited view. Portions of the road,
vehicles, and other objects may
not be seen. Do not drive or park
the vehicle using only this camera. Objects may appear closer thanthey are. Check the outside
mirrors or glance over your
shoulder when making lane
changes or merging. Failure to
use proper care may result in
injury, death, or vehicle damage.
Rear view camera 3 185.
Troubleshooting
If the tab is in the rearward position and a blue screen and d are displayed
in the mirror and the display shuts off, see a workshop for service.
The rear camera mirror may not work properly or display a clear image if:
● There is glare from the sun or headlights. This may obstruct
objects from view.
● Dirt, snow, or other debris blocks
the camera lens. Clean the lens
with a soft damp cloth.
● The back of the vehicle has been
damaged and the position and
mounting angle of the camera
has changed.Windows
Windscreen Windscreen stickers
Do not attach stickers such as toll
road stickers or similar on the
windscreen in the area of the interior
mirror. Otherwise the detection zone
of the sensor and the view area of the camera in the mirror housing could be
restricted.
Windscreen replacementCaution
If the vehicle has a front-looking
camera sensor for the driver
assistance systems, it is very
important that any windscreen
replacement is performed
accurately according to Opel
specifications. Otherwise, these
systems may not work properly
and there is a risk of unexpected
behaviour and/or messages from
these systems.

General information .................209Driving hints
Driving economically The following advice is intended to
help maximise energy efficiency and
range.
In colder temperatures, while these
efficiency tips will help, the electric
vehicle's driving range may be lower
due to higher energy usage.
The weight of additional cargo in the
vehicle affects efficiency and range.
Avoid carrying more than is needed.
Avoid unnecessary use of electrical
accessories. Power used for
functions other than propelling the
vehicle will reduce electric vehicle
range.
Always keep the tyres properly
inflated and the vehicle properly
aligned.
Driving style
Avoid unnecessary rapid
accelerations and decelerations.
Use cruise control when appropriate.
