Introduction
Your vehicle is an intelligent combination
of forward-looking technology, impressive
safety, environmental friendliness and
economy.
The TwinTop also gives you the
opportunity to enjoy your Tigra as a coupe
or a convertible.
It now lies with you to drive your vehicle
safely and ensure that it performs
perfectly. This Owner’s Manual provides
you with all the necessary information to
that end.
Make sure your passengers are aware of
the possible risk of accident and injury
which may result from improper use of the
vehicle.
You must always comply with the specific
laws of the country that you are travelling
in. These laws may differ from the
information in this Owner’s Manual.
When this Manual refers to a workshop
visit, we recommend you use an Opel
Service Partner.
All Opel Service Partners provide first-class
service at reasonable prices. Experienced
mechanics trained by Opel work according
to specific Opel instructions.
The Owner’s Manual, infotainment system
instructions and the vehicle Service Booklet
should always be kept ready to hand in the
vehicle glove compartment.
