2017.5 OPEL AMPERA E warning light

220Vehicle careBulb replacement
Switch off the vehicle and switch off
the relevant switch or close the doors.
Only hold a new bulb at the base. Do not touch the bulb glass with bare
hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
Replace headlight bulbs from within
the engine compartment.
Bulb check After a bulb replacement switch on
the vehicle, operate and check the
lights.
Halogen bulbs9 Warning
Halogen bulbs have pressurised
gas inside and can burst if you
drop or scratch the bulb. You or others could be injured. Be sure to read and follow the instructions onthe bulb package.
Xenon headlights9 Danger
Xenon headlights work under
extremely high electrical voltage.
Do not touch. Have bulbs replaced by a workshop.
Bulbs for front turn signal and
corner lighting can be changed.
Sidelight/Daytime running lights are
designed as Light Emitting Diodes
(LEDs) and cannot be replaced.
Front turn signal lights
1. Tilt the wheel and remove screws
on the outside of the wheel liner.
2. Rotate the bulb holder anticlockwise to disengage.
3. Remove the bulb assembly anticlockwise and pull it straight
out.
4. Insert a new bulb assembly straight into the lamp and rotate
clockwise.
5. Reinstall the wheel liner with screws.

222Vehicle care2. Remove lamp downwards, takingcare not to pull on the cable.
3. Remove bulb holder from lamp housing by turning anticlockwise.
4. Pull bulb from bulb holder and replace it.
5. Insert bulb holder into lamp housing and turn clockwise.
6. Insert lamp into bumper and let engage.
Some versions have LED number
plate lights. In case of defective
LEDs, have them replaced by a
workshop.
Electrical system
High voltage devices andwiring9 Warning
Exposure to high voltage may
cause shock, burns, and even
death. The high voltage
components in the vehicle should
only be serviced by specially
trained technicians.
High voltage components are
identified by labels. Do not
remove, open, take apart, or
modify these components. High
voltage cable or wiring has orange covering. Do not probe, tamper
with, cut, or modify high voltage
cable or wiring.
Electrical system overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit
breakers to protect against an
electrical system overload.
If the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker will open
and close, protecting the circuit until
the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly
reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the
following parts in the vehicle:
● Headlight wiring
● Windscreen wiper motor
● Power windows and other power accessories
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of identical size and rating. If there is a
problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose a
feature of the vehicle that is
temporarily not required and replace
the borrowed fuse as soon as
possible.

Vehicle care235The available settings are:● Light for comfort pressure up to
three people.
● Eco for Eco pressure up to three
people.
● Max for full loading.
Auto learn function Each tyre pressure sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code must be matched
to a new wheel position after rotating
the wheels or exchanging the
complete wheel set and if one or more tyre pressure sensors were replaced.
After changing wheels, the vehicle
must be stationary for approx.
20 minutes before the system
recalculates. The following relearn
process takes up to 10 minutes of
driving with a minimum speed of
20 km/h. In this event, w can be
displayed or pressure values can
swap in the Driver Information Centre.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, a warning message will be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every six years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, vehicle
performance, including braking, ride
and handling characteristics, stability
and resistance to rollover may be
affected. If the vehicle has electronic
systems such as antilock brakes,
rollover airbags, traction control,
electronic stability control, the
performance of these systems can
also be affected. It may be necessary
to reprogramme the speedometer as
well as the nominal tyre pressure and
make other vehicle modifications.
