The Opel Combo Cargo – driving and manoeuvring assistance

The Opel Combo Cargo boasts a wide range of features. It’s a very spacious car that facilitates daily business transport. There are up to 19 driving, manoeuvring and safety systems. One of the most practical devices, which are placed in the presented vehicle, is a reversing camera Surround Rear Vision.
