Foreword
These installation instructions apply to Opel Antara vehicles with a 3.2 Gasoline engine and a manual
transmission
- for validity, see page 2 - from model year 2007 and later, assuming technical modifications to the
vehicle do not affect installation, any liability claims excluded. Depending on the vehicle version and
equipment, modifications may be necessary during installation with respect to these installation
instructions.
However, the stipulations in the "installation instructions" and "operating and maintenance instructions"
for the Thermo Top C/P/E must always be observed.
The corresponding rules of technology and any information from the vehicle manufacturer should be
observed during the installation work.
General Instructions
Installation should be carried out according to the general, standard rules of technology. Unless
specified otherwise, fasten hoses, lines and wiring harnesses to original vehicle lines and wiring
harnesses using cable ties.
Sharp edges should be fitted with edge protectors (split-open plastic hose).
Spray unfinished body areas, e.g. drilled holes, with anti-corrosion wax (Tectyl 100K, Order No.
111329).

Operating Instructions for End Customer
Please remove page and add to the vehicle operating instructions.
Note:
We recommend matching the heating time to the driving time.
Heating time = driving time
Example:
For a driving time of approx. 20 min. (in one direction), we recommend not exceeding a switch-on time
of 20 min.
If the summer/winter switch option has been installed, this must be switched in accordance with the
time of year. The heater unit will then only switch on the vehicle fan to ventilate the vehicle interior in
the position Winter
heat and in the position Summer
.
Before parking the vehicle, make the following settings:
1 Set temperature to "max."
2 Set fan to level "1", or possibly "2"
