Vehicle Care 165
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 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.
Replacing the vehicle battery
Note:Any deviation from the
instructions given in this paragraph
may lead to a temporary
deactivation of the stop-start
system.
When the vehicle 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 vehicle battery.
In vehicles with stop-start system,
ensure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery replaced with an
AGM battery again.
An AGM battery can be identified by
the label on the battery. We
recommend the use of an original
Vauxhall vehicle battery.
Note: Using an AGM vehicle
battery different from the original
Vauxhall vehicle battery may 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

Electrical System
Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must
match the data on the defective
fuse. There are three fuse boxes in
the vehicle :
.In the front left of the engine
compartment
. In left-hand drive vehicles, in the
interior behind the storage
compartment, or, in right-hand
drive vehicles, behind the
glovebox
. Behind a cover on the left side
of the load compartment
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognised by
its melted wire. Do not replace the
fuse until the cause of the fault has
been remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.
Fuse extractor
A fuse extractor may be located in
the fuse box in the engine
compartment.
