informed accordingly.

Seats, interior41
To raise the seat, lift backrest release lever
and push backrest to upright position.
Push and pull on seat backrest to ensure it
is locked, thus avoiding excessive forward
movement in the event of a collision.
Rear seats
To adjust backrests, lift release lever
located on top of backrest and move
backrest forwards or backwards to desired
position.
Do not lean on seat backrest whilst
adjusting it or make adjustments while the
vehicle is moving.
When folding the rear seat backrests,
ensure the seat belts are unbuckled. Folding rear seat backrests
The luggage compartment can be
enlarged by folding the rear seat backrests
onto the seat cushions.
To fold rear seat backrests separately,
unbuckle all three rear seat belts and
ensure front seats are not in reclined
position.

carried on the back of the front
passenger’s seat backrest, ensure they
are not in the area in which the front
passenger’s airbag inflates or in the area
between the seat backrest and the
vehicle body. In the event of a collision,
such objects may be thrown through the
vehicle.
The load must not hinder hand brake
operation or gearshifting.
Disregard of these notes can lead to
injuries which may be fatal.

Seats, interior47
Seat belt height adjustmentof front seat belt upper anchorage points
zDo not adjust height whilst driving.
z Squeeze release buttons together and
slide adjuster up or down to desired
position.
z Ensure sliding height adjuster latches
into position.
Height adjuster can also be moved up
without squeezing release buttons. Removing the beltTo remove the belt, press the red release
button on the belt
buckle; the belt will
retract automatically.
Guide the belt as it retracts, to prevent
personal injury and damage to interior

Always ensure you position the release
button so that you can unbuckle the seat
belt quickly if necessary.
Child restraint systems 3
Opel child restraint systems are designed
specifically for your vehicle and thus
provide optimum safety for your child in
the event of an impact. The use of an Opel
child restraint system is therefore
recommended.
If a different child safe ty seat is used, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for fitting
and use.
Selecting the right system
Your child should be transported facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. The child’s neck area is still very
weak and in an accident they suffer less
stress in the semi-prone rearward position
than when sitting upright.
9 Warning
Disregard of these instructions may lead
to injuries or endanger life.

On vehicles with Xenon headlamps, the
range of the headlamps is adjusted
automatically based on vehicle load.
If control indicator q for automatic
headlamp range adjustment illuminates in
the instrument panel while driving, a fault

Operational only in ignition switch
positions ACC or ON.
Control indicator in button.
Turn off as soon as vision is clear.
Rear window and exterior mirror heating is
switched off automatically after approx.
15 minutes.
To avoid discharging the battery, do not
operate when you are just starting the
vehicle, or if there is a build up of snow or
ice. Operate only with the engine running.
Do not use sharp instruments or abrasive
cleaners on rear window or exterior mirrors,
and avoid scratching or damaging their
heating elements.
Heated front seats 3
Operational only in ignition switch
positions ACC or ON.
Press switch ß on respective side one or
more times to set the desired heat output.
Control indicator in switch indicates which
of the three heating levels is active.
To switch heating off, set heat output to
the lowest level and press the switch again.
The control indicato r will extinguish.
Prolonged use could cause damage to
delicate and thin clothing and burn seat
occupants.
Avoid subjecting seats to heavy impacts,
as this may cause damage to the heating
element.
If temperature continues to rise, turn seat
heating off and consult a workshop.
Glove compartment cooling 3
Cooled air is fed into the glove
compartment through an air opening,
when the air conditioning is turned on.
Rotate adjustment wheel anti-clockwise to
allow the air conditioning to keep the
contents of the glove compartment cool.
Rotate adjustment wheel clockwise to close
air opening when glove compartment
cooling is not required.

Driving and operation143
Control indicator for park pilotControl indicator r illuminates while
driving if there is a fault in the system.
If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times
continuously when there are no obstacles
near the front or rear bumper, there is a
fault in the system.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a
workshop. To ensure the safety of other road users
and people in the vicinity and to avoid
damage to the vehicle, remember:
z
The park pilot should only be considered
as a supplementary function. Normal
precautions should be maintained when
reversing. Check the rear view and use
the mirrors when reversing.
z Do not push, scratch or otherwise
damage the sensors.
z Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners to
clean the sensors. Clean only with a soft
sponge and clean water.
Automatic level control 3
Automatic level control makes it possible to
keep the height of the vehicle constant
when subjected to different loads in the
rear (e.g. when passengers are occupying
the rear seats or when towing a caravan/
trailer). This significantly improves driving
conditions.
The vehicle is automatically raised at the
rear to its previous unloaded level,
increasing spring travel and ground
clearance.
Headlamp range adjustment -
see page 97.
In the event of malfunctions, do not utilise
the vehicle’s full load capacity. Have the
cause of the fault remedied by a workshop
without delay.

Self-help, vehicle care185
Bulb replacement
Before replacing a bulb , switch off ignition
and relevant switch.
Only hold new bulbs at base! Do not touch
the bulb glass with bare hands, otherwise
fingerprints on the glass evaporate and
residue builds up on the reflector
eventually resulting in a dull reflector.
Inadvertently stained bulbs may be
cleaned with a clean lint-free cloth, using
alcohol or white spirit.
Replacement bulb must be in accordance
with data on base of defective bulb. Do not
exceed wattage given on bulb base.
Headlamp aiming
We recommend that headlamp aiming be
carried out by a work shop, which will have
special equipment.
When aiming your headlamps, the manual
headlamp range adjustment 3 must be set
to 7. Headlamp removal
For bulb replacement, it is necessary to first
remove the headlamp assembly.
1. Switch off ignition and headlamp switch.
2. Open the bonnet, release the 11
retainers and remove the radiator cover.
3. Remove 3 bolts and withdraw headlamp.
4. Depress harness connector tags and disconnect head lamp wiring.
5. Remove the headlamp assembly.
Headlamp assembly installation is the
reverse of removal - ensure locating dowel
aligns with its socket.
Do not overtighten bolts or retainers.
