Accessories and vehicle modifications
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.

222Vehicle careElectrical systemHigh voltage devices andwiring9 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.

Vehicle care223A blown fuse can be recognised by its
melted 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.

224Vehicle careEngine compartment fuse
