The towing eye and a screwdriver are
located under a cover in the load
compartment.
Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Tyres
Self-sealing tyres This vehicle may have self-sealing
tyres. These tyres have a material
inside that can seal punctures up to
6 mm in the tread area.
The tyre may lose air pressure if the
sidewall is damaged or the tread
puncture is too large. If the Tyre
pressure monitoring system indicates the tyre pressure is low, inspect thetyre for damage and inflate it to the
recommended pressure. If the tyre is

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.

236Vehicle careAfter converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
If the vehicle has a tyre size other than
215/50R17, do not use tyre chains.
There is not enough clearance. Tyre
chains used on a vehicle without the proper amount of clearance can
cause damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle parts. The area damaged by the tyre chains
could cause loss of control and a
crash. Use another type of traction
device only if its manufacturer
recommends it for the vehicle's tyre
size combination and road conditions. Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To avoid vehicle
damage, drive slowly and readjust or
remove the traction device if it
contacts the vehicle. Do not spin the wheels. If traction devices are used,
install them on the front tyres.
On tyres of size 215/50 R17 only use special snow chains which are
permitted for Opel Ampera-e and
tyres of these sizes. For further
information contact a workshop.

240Vehicle careSwitch on the vehicle to release
steering wheel lock and to permit
operation of brake lights, horn and
windscreen wiper.
Set the shift lever of the electric drive unit to N.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the vehicle is not running, considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap at the bottom and close.
Towing another vehicle The vehicle is neither designed nor
intended to tow a trailer or another
vehicle.
Appearance care
Exterior care
Locks The locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use de-icing agent only when
absolutely necessary, as this has a
degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing.
Do not apply waxes or polishes to uncoated plastic, vinyl, rubber,
decals, simulated wood, or flat paint
as damage can occur.Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned
off immediately, as they contain
aggressive constituents which can
cause paint damage.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be
switched off. Remove antenna and
external accessories such as roof
racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with a
cleaning solution approved for
aluminium to avoid damages.

Customer information255When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.) may
be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases)
allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some
vehicles for functions such as tyre
pressure monitoring and immobiliser
system. It is also used in connection
with conveniences such as radio
remote controls for door locking/
unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage door openers.
RFID technology in Opel vehicles
does not use or record personal
information or link with any other Opel system containing personal
information.
