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

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.
