Vehicle care 205

Engine compartment

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 advisable to wash the engine

compartment before and after winter

and preserve it with wax. Protect the

alternator and brake fluid reservoir

with plastic sheets before washing

the engine.

When washing the engine with a

steam-jet cleaner, do not direct the

steam jet towards components of the

antilock brake system, air

conditioning system or the belt drive

and its components.

After an engine wash, have all engine

room components preserved

thoroughly by a workshop using

protective wax.

Do not use high-pressure jet

cleaners.

TwinTop

Clean all seals with a damp soft lint-

free cloth. Allow to dry completely.

Treat all seals, e. g. on the roof and

windscreen frame, with the special

maintenance kit (available at your

Opel Service Partner) from time to

time. Good contact between the fine

rubber lips and the sealing surfaces

prevents leaks and reduces clamping

forces.

Intermediate roof position for cleaning

3 41.

Do not use high-pressure jet

cleaners.

Towing equipment

Do not clean the coupling ball bar with

a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior,

including the instrument panel fascia

and panelling, with a dry cloth or

interior cleaner.

Clean the leather upholstery with

clear water and a soft cloth. In case of

heavy soiling, use leather care.

The instrument panel should only be

cleaned using a soft damp cloth.

Clean fabric upholstery with a

vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove

stains with an upholstery cleaner.

Clothing fabrics may not be

colourfast. This could cause visible

discolourations, especially on light-

coloured upholstery. Removable

stains and discolourations should be

cleaned as soon as possible.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water

or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could

damage seat upholstery.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be

cleaned with the same cleaner as

used to clean the body. Use interior

cleaner if necessary. Do not use any

other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol

in particular. Do not use high-

pressure jet cleaners.
