During operation, the car must undergo periodic maintenance (THAT). The intervals between maintenance and the volume of operations carried out during maintenance are determined by the vehicle manufacturer based on the conditions necessary for trouble-free operation and to prevent wear of vehicle components and parts in excess of permissible values. Don't skimp on maintenance! This will allow you to avoid additional serious expenses for car repairs. Also, do not forget that in accordance with existing legislation, the responsibility for the technical condition of the vehicle lies with its owner.
Warning! During the warranty period, maintenance should only be carried out by authorized Opel dealers. Otherwise, you void your warranty!
