When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert. Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and ignition system security. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking/unlocking and starting, and in- vehicle transmitters for garage door openers. RFID technology in Opel vehicles does not use or record personal information or link with any other Opel system containing personal information. 262 A B Index Accessories and vehicle Battery discharge protection ...... 128 modifications ...... 195 Battery voltage ...... 107 Active emergency braking...... 170 Belts...... 50 Adjustable air vents ...... 137 Bonnet ...... 197 Airbag and belt tensioners ...... 93 Brake and clutch fluid...... 241 Airbag deactivation ...... 57, 93 Brake and clutch system ...... 94 Airbag label...... 53 Brake assist ...... 160 Airbag system ...... 53 Brake fluid ...... 200 Air conditioning regular Brakes ...... 157, 200 operation ...... 138 Breakdown...... 235 Air conditioning system ...... 130 Bulb replacement ...... 203 Air intake ...... 138 Air vents...... 137 C Antilock brake system ...... 157 Capacities ...... 253 Antilock brake system (ABS) ...... 95 Catalytic converter ...... 150 Anti-theft alarm system ...... 31 Central locking system ...... 24 Anti-theft locking system ...... 31 Centre console lighting ...... 127 Appearance care...... 237 Changing tyre and wheel size ...225 Armrest...... 48, 50 Charging system ...... 93 Armrest storage ...... 67 Child locks ...... 29 Ashtrays ...... 84 Child restraint installation Automatic anti-dazzle ...... 36 locations ...... 62 Automatic light control ...... 119 Child restraints...... 59 Automatic locking ...... 28 Child restraint systems ...... 59 Automatic transmission ...... 151 Climate control ...... 16 Auxiliary heater...... 137 Climate control systems...... 129 Clock...... 80 Collision damage repair...... 258 Control indicators...... 92 263
