Accessories and vehiclemodifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products - even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Any modification, conversion or other
changes made to standard vehicle
specifications (including, without
limitation, software modifications,
modifications of the electronic control units) may invalidate the warranty
offered by Opel. Furthermore, such
changes may affect driver assistance
systems and energy consumption.
They may also invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.

Vehicle care223Electrical system
High voltage devices and wiring9 Warning
Exposure to high voltage may
cause shock, burns, and even
death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle should
only be serviced by specially
trained technicians.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not
remove, open, take apart, or
modify these components. High
voltage cable or wiring has orange covering. Do not probe, tamper
with, cut, or modify high voltage
cable or wiring.
Electrical system overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
If the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker will open
and close, protecting the circuit until
the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly
reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the
following parts in the vehicle:
● Headlight wiring
● Windscreen wiper motor
● Power windows and other power accessories
Headlight wiring An electrical overload may cause the
lights to go on and off or in some
cases to remain off. In this case, have
the headlight wiring checked
immediately by a workshop.
Windscreen wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
blockage from heavy snow or ice, the windscreen wipers will stop until themotor has cooled down and the wiper
control has been turned off. Afterremoval of the blockage, the wiper
motor will restart when moving the
wiper control to the desired operating
position.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, mechanical
overload due to heavy snow or ice
may cause wiper linkage damage.
Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windscreen before using the windscreen wipers. If the overload is
caused by an electrical problem and
not snow or ice, it must be serviced.
Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must match the data on the defective fuse.
There are two fuse boxes in the
vehicle:
● at the front left side of the engine
compartment
● at the left side of the instrument panel
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the vehicle.

224Vehicle careA blown fuse can be recognised by itsmelted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.Caution
Do not replace the fuse until the
cause of the fault has been
remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.
Fuse extractor
A fuse extractor is located in the fuse
box in the engine compartment.
Place the fuse extractor on the
various types of fuse from the top or
side, and withdraw fuse.

Vehicle care225Engine compartment fusebox
The fuse box is located at the left front
side of the engine compartment.
To open the fuse block cover, press
the clip and remove the cover.

Vehicle care2419Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
9 Warning
Never jump start another vehicle
by using the terminals located in
the engine compartment.
This could cause a fuse to
overload in the vehicle.
● Never expose the 12 V vehicle battery to naked flames or
sparks.
● A discharged 12 V vehicle battery
can already freeze at a
temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the
frozen 12 V vehicle battery
before connecting jump leads.
● Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
handling a 12 V vehicle battery.
● Use a booster vehicle battery with the same voltage (12 V). Its
capacity (Ah) must not be much
less than that of the discharged
12 V vehicle battery.
● Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of
at least 16 mm 2
.
● Do not disconnect the discharged
12 V vehicle battery from the
vehicle.
● Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.
● Do not lean over the 12 V vehicle
battery during jump starting.
● Do not allow the terminals of one
lead to touch those of the other
lead.
● The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during
the jump starting process.
● Apply the parking brake, shift selector lever into P.
● Open the positive terminal protection cap of both batteries.Battery terminals in the engine
compartment
The battery terminals to jump start the
vehicle are located in the engine
compartment.
The positive battery terminal is
located below a cover. Open the
cover before jump starting the
vehicle.
The negative battery terminal is stud
on a bracket located near the charger
modules.
