airbags 3, do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents on the seat covers.

lts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with lukewarm water
or Interior/Upholstery Cleaner.
Periodically check the seat belts and

damage or weakening of the belts has
occurred.

When cleaning the heated rear window,
make sure that the heating element on the
inside of the window is not damaged.

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
