Locks
The locks are lubrica ted with a high-grade
lock cylind er grease at the factory. Opel
Lock Cylind er Grease prevents the locks
fro m fr ee zing up. On ly u s e de -icing agen ts
in emergencies, a s they have a degreasing
effect and will impair the function of the
locks. After using a de-icing agent, have
the locks re-greased by a workshop.
Eng ine compar tment
Areas of the engine compartment that are
painted in the same colour as the vehicle
must be looked after like any other painted
surface.
It is adv isable to wash the engine
compartment before and after winter and
preserve it with wax. Cover alternator and
brake/clutch fluid reservoir with plastic
sheets before washing the engine.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet
cleaner, do not d irect the steam-jet a t
components of the Anti-lock Brake System
(ABS), a ir conditioning system, climate
control sy stem or the b elt drive and its
components.
Protective wax that has been ap plied is
also removed during the engine wash. For
this reason, have the engine, brake system
components in the engine compartment,
axle com ponents with steering, body parts
and cavities thoroughly preserved by a
workshop using protective wax.
An engine wash ca n be p erformed in the
spring in order to remove dirt that has
adhered to the engine comp artment,
whic h may also have a high salt content.
Check protectiv e w ax la yer and ma ke good
if necessary.
Do not us e high-pre ssu re je t clea ne rs.
Underbody
Your vehicle has a durable protective
coating in the wheel arches (includ ing the
longitudinal mem bers), which provides
permanent protection and needs no
s p ec ia l m ai n t en a n c e .
O n ve hicle s whic h are wa shed freque ntly
in automatic ca r washes with underbody
washing facility, the protective coating
ma y be impaired by dirt-dissolving
add itiv es , so check the underb od y after
washing and have it waxed if necessary.
Before the sta rt of the cold weather season,
check the coa ting and, if necessary, have it
restored to perfect condition.
Caution – commercially available bitumen/
rubber m aterials can damage the coating.
We recommend that you have underbody
work carried out by a workshop, who
knows the prescribed materials and has
experience in the use thereof.
The underbody should be washed
following the end of the cold weather
season to remove any dirt adhering to the
underbody since this may also contain salt.
Check protective wax coating and, if
necessary, have it restored to perfect
condition.
