What Does the "Code 60" Message Mean in the Opel Meriva?

If the "Code 60" message has appeared on the dashboard of your Opel Meriva, it means that the passenger side window is not calibrated correctly. This issue can arise, for example, after disconnecting or replacing the battery, as the control unit for the various devices will lose the stored data. To remove the warning from the dashboard, simply turn on the ignition, fully open the window, and then close it. This procedure is also valid for the driver's window if the "Code 59" message appears.
