Liability for consequences figure, followed by a W, indicates the resulting from the use of additional low temperature viscosity and the coolant additives will be rejected. second figure the high temperature Brake and clutch fluid viscosity. Select the appropriate viscosity grade Over time, brake fluid absorbs depending on the minimum ambient moisture which will reduce braking temperature 3 225. effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified All of the recommended viscosity interval. grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures. Coolant and antifreeze Use only organic acid type-long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle. Consult a workshop. The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 °C.

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 deflation detection 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. 244
