■ Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply the parking brake.
Activate the manual parking
brake without pressing the
release button. Apply as firmly
as possible on a downhill slope
or uphill slope. Depress foot
brake at the same time to

Vehicle care229
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to vehicle battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
The anti-theft alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: Switch the
ignition on then off, disconnect the
vehicle's battery within 15 seconds.
Battery discharge protection 3 136.
Replacing the vehicle battery Notice
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
The vehicle battery is covered.
Remove the cover to replace the battery. Lift up the cover at the rear
and unlatch it at the front.
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 vehicle batteries that allow the fuse box to be mounted above the
battery.
In vehicles with stop-start system, be
sure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery replaced with an
AGM battery again.

230Vehicle care
An AGM battery can be identified bythe label on the battery. We
recommend the use of an original
Vauxhall battery.
Notice
Using an AGM battery different from the original Vauxhall battery might
result in a lower performance of the
stop-start system.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle battery replaced by a
workshop.
Stop-start system 3 157.
Charging the vehicle battery9 Warning
On vehicles with stop-start
system, ensure that the charging potential does not exceed
14.6 volts when using a battery
charger. Otherwise the battery
might be damaged.
Jump starting 3 262.
Warning label
Meaning of symbols:
■ No sparks, naked flames or smoking.
■ Always shield eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness or
injury.
