To help in replacing fuses, a fuse extractor
is located in the engine compartment fuse
box.
9 Warning
Switch off engine before opening the
engine compartment fuse box; risk of
injury.
Some circuits may be protected by several
fuses.

Self-help, vehicle care195
Check diesel fuel filter 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.
If there is water in the diesel fuel filter,
control indicator
N illuminates in the
instrument panel - see page 73. Drain the
water immediately.
Coolant
During operation, the system is
pressurized. The temperature may
therefore rise to over 100 °C.
The antifreeze provides excellent corrosion
protection for the cooling and heating
system, as well as freeze protection down
to -28 °C.
Certain types of antifreeze can lead to
engine damage. We therefore strongly
recommend the use of antifreeze that has
been approved by Opel.
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Before the start of the cold weather season,
have the coolant checked for correct
concentration by a workshop. The amount
of antifreeze must provide protection down
to approx. –28 °C. If the antifreeze
concentration is too low, this reduces
protection from fr eezing and corrosion.
Top up antifreeze if necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with
demineralised water, have antifreeze
concentration checked and more
antifreeze added as necessary. Coolant level
Hardly any losses occur since the cooling
system is sealed and it is thus rarely
necessary to top up the coolant.
The coolant level in the expansion tank
should be between the
MIN and MAX
marks when the system is cold.
9 Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health: it must
therefore be kept in the original container
and out of the reach of children.

Self-help, vehicle care204
Plastic and rubber parts
For additional cleaning of plastic and
rubber parts, use a cleaner suitable for
vehicle interiors. Do not use any other
agent, and in particular do not use solvents
or petrol.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners on
wheels and tyres.
Interior and upholstery
Clean the vehicle interior regularly,
including the instrument panel fascia,
using Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum
cleaner and brush. To remove stains, use a
cleaner that is suitable for both fabrics and
vinyl.
Open Velcro fastener s on clothing could
damage seat upholstery. Make sure that
Velcro fasteners are closed.
Do not use cleaning agents such as
acetone, carbon te trachloride, paint
thinner, paint remover, nail varnish
remover, washing powder or bleach to
clean fabrics, carpets, the instrument panel
or leather trim 3 in the vehicle interior.
Benzine, petrol, naphth a, enamel reducers
and lacquer thinners are also unsuitable. Avoid over-exposure to vapours from
cleaning agents and
other chemicals when
cleaning. Whenever possible, avoid using
such cleaning agents in small, unventilated
spaces, to avoid inhalation of dangerous
vapours. Open the doors.
If the front seats are equipped with side
airbags 3, do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents on the seat covers.
Do not saturate the seat covers with
Interior/Upholstery Cleaner, to avoid
contaminating the airbag system,
otherwise the side airbags 3 may not
trigger in the event of a collision. Seat belts
Always keep seat be
lts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with lukewarm water
or Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Periodically check the seat belts and
replace immediately with new seat belts if
damage or weakening of the belts has
occurred.
Windows
When cleaning the heated rear window,
make sure that the heating element on the
inside of the window is not damaged.
Never place stickers on the inside of the
rear window.
Use a soft, lint-fr ee cloth or chamois
leather, in conjunction with Window
Cleaning Spray and Insect Remover. Do not
use sharp instruments or abrasive cleaners.
Opel Cleaning Solvent and Antifreeze is
suitable for de-icing windows.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
commercially available sharp-edged ice
scraper. Press the scraper firmly against
the glass so that no dirt can get under it
and scratch the glass.
