External lighting fixtures

Main switch

The switch has three positions:

(1) = Off
(2) = Parking light
(3) = Low/high beam

In switch positions (2) and (3), the rear side lights and license plate lights are also switched on

Adjusting the direction of the headlight beams

In order not to blind oncoming drivers, the adjustment of the low beam direction of the headlights is performed asymmetrically, with the directrix shifted towards the side of the road (for Russia - turned to the right). When leaving Russia for countries with left-hand traffic, special shields should be placed on the headlights, covering the right sector of the lens within a range of 15°.

Some Opel Frontera models have the ability to adjust the direction of the headlight beams to compensate for distortions caused by uneven vehicle loading.

The adjustment is made using a special switch.

The switch must be set to the "0" position when there is only one driver in the vehicle. Position "1" corresponds to the situation when all seats in the cabin are occupied; position "2" - all seats are occupied and cargo is placed in the luggage compartment; Position "3" (5-door models) - driver and cargo in the luggage compartment.

Correct adjustment of the beam direction of the headlights ensures protection of oncoming drivers from dazzlement.

Front fog light control

1. Press the button (5) on the main switch panel - the green indicator inside it should light up.

The front fog lights come on when the parking lights are turned on.

2. To turn off the fog lights, press button (5) again.

Rear fog light control

1. Press the button (4) on the main switch panel - a yellow indicator should light up inside it.

The rear fog lights come on when the headlights or front fog lights are turned on.

2. To turn off the fog lights, press button (4) again.

Switching headlights (near/far)

1. To change the headlights, pull the left steering column stalk switch towards you.

2. After the click, release the switch lever.

3. Pulling the switch towards you to the first stop (without a click) allows you to flash the headlights (see next subsection).

Flashing headlights

1. To turn on the headlight flashing mode, gently pull the left steering column stalk switch towards you.

Direction indicator control

1. To turn on the direction indicators, move the left steering column switch lever from the middle (in the vertical plane) positions up (right turn) or down (left turn).

2. When you turn the steering wheel back after completing a turn, the switch will automatically return to the center position. Remember that the return device does not operate when making smooth turns with a large radius - in this case, you need to pull the lever up or down only to the first stop, then it will return to its original position after releasing.

Hazard warning switch

The hazard warning light switch is located on the instrument panel below the clock, to the right of the instrument cluster.

When the switch button is pressed, all four direction indicators are simultaneously activated and begin to flash in unison with the switch indicator lamp.

Driving lights (for daytime driving)

Driving lights, if provided by the vehicle, are switched on simultaneously with the high beam headlights.

Reversing lights

They are switched on automatically when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear with the ignition on.

Interior lighting fixtures

Reading light control

Turning on the lamp and adjusting the brightness of its glow are produced by rotating the ring handles of the potentiometers mounted directly into the lens of the lampshade.
