Car Pass

The Car Pass contains security

related vehicle data and should

therefore be kept in a safe place.
When the vehicle is taken to a

workshop, this vehicle data is needed

in order to perform certain operations.

Radio remote control

Used to operate:

● central locking system
● anti-theft locking system
● anti-theft alarm system
● soft top
● power windows

The radio remote control has a range

of approx. 20 metres. It can be

restricted by external influences. The

hazard warning flashers confirm

operation.
Handle with care, protect from

moisture and high temperatures and

avoid unnecessary operation.

Fault

If the central locking system cannot

be operated with the radio remote

control, it may be due to the following:

● Range is exceeded.
● Battery voltage is too low.
● Frequent, repeated operation of

the radio remote control while not

in range, which will require re-

synchronisation.

● Overload of the central locking

system by operating at frequent

intervals, the power supply is

interrupted for a short time.

● Interference from higher-power

radio waves from other sources.

turning the control to left (L) or right

(R). Then swivel the control to adjust

the mirror.

restricted.

Windscreen replacement

Caution

If the vehicle has a front-looking

camera sensor for the driver

assistance systems, it is very

important that any windscreen

replacement is performed

accurately according to Opel

specifications. Otherwise, these

systems may not work properly

and there is a risk of unexpected

behaviour and/or messages from

these systems.
