Battery The vehicle battery is maintenance-free.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at an
appropriate recycling collection point.
The retrofitting of electrical or electronic
accessories may subject the battery to
additional loading and cause it to become
discharged. Please seek advice concerning
the technical options, such as installing a
more powerful battery. Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to battery discharge.
Disconnect the negative terminal of the
vehicle battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off before
connecting or disconnecting the vehicle
battery.
Replacing the battery
When the battery is being replaced, please
ensure that there are no open ventilation
holes in the vicinity of the positive terminal.
If a ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap, and
the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Only use batteries that allow the fuse box
to be mounted above the battery.
We recommend that you have the battery
replaced by an Opel Partner.
