2018.5 OPEL AMPERA E height

184Driving and operatingDetection zones
The system sensors cover a zone of
approx. 3.5 m parallel on both vehicle
sides and approx. 3 m rearwards on
side blind zone assistant (A) and
approx. 70 m rearwards on lane
change alert (B) on parallel lanes.
The zones start at each exterior
mirror. The height of the zone is
approx. between 0.5 m and 2 m off the ground.
Deactivation Activation or deactivation of the lane
change alert can be set in the vehicle
personalisation menu in the Info
Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 91.
Info Display 3 85.
Deactivation is indicated by a
message in the Driver Information
Centre.
Note
Each new vehicle requires a
calibration. For optimal
performance, drive as soon as
possible on a straight highway road
with roadside objects, e.g. guardrails
and barriers for some distance.
System limitations
Occasional false alerts can occur
under normal circumstances or in
sharp curves. The system can
temporarily alert of objects in the blind zone at specific weather conditions
(rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road
or in the transitions from a dry area to a wet area can cause the system to
light up, as water splash can be
interpreted as an object. Otherwise
F may illuminate due to guardrails,
signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile
objects. This is normal operation and
the system does not need a service.The system may not operate properly
when:
● ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the sensors
● driving in heavy rainstorms
● the vehicle had an accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Panoramic view system The panoramic view system vision

208Driving and operatingfrom the electrical outlet and re-
plugging it. If the fault remains,
consult a workshop for a service.
● c solid green and d flashes red:
charge cord fault: The charge cord has detected a potential
problem with the charge cord.
Reset the charge cord by
unplugging from the electrical
outlet and re-plugging it. If the fault remains, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If no status indicator is lit, ensure the
electrical outlet is powered.
Charge level selection9 Warning
If the capacity of the electrical
circuit or AC socket is not known,
only use the lowest charge level
until the circuit capacity has been
inspected by a qualified
electrician. Using a charge level
that exceeds either the electrical
circuit or the AC outlet capacity
may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit.
Note
By choosing a reduced charge level,
the charging time is increased.
Charge limit selection can be made
using the Charge limit preference
screen on the Info Display.

Grounding instructions This product must be grounded. If this
product should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that
has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.9 Warning
Improper connection of the charge
cord ground may cause electrical
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if there is doubt as to
whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product.
If it will not fit the electrical outlet,
have a proper electrical outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Charge cord mounting
instructions
Choose an appropriate, solid location for mounting the charge cord. The
appropriate height for mounting the
charge cord is 91 cm from the floor.
Space the holes 18.7 cm apart.
Install the mounting screws leaving
the head of the screws 5 mm from the
surface.
Securely mount the charge cord on to
the screws.
Connect the wall plug to the electrical
outlet.
Connect the vehicle plug to the
charge port.

214Vehicle care3. Release the bonnet support fromits retainer above the radiator
support and place it securely into
the slotted retainer in the bonnet.
Closing
Before closing the bonnet, press the
support into the holder.
Lower the bonnet and let it fall into the latch from a low height (20-25 cm).
Check that the bonnet is engaged.Caution
Do not press the bonnet into the
latch to avoid dents.
Cooling system
The vehicle has three different
cooling systems.
Regularly check the coolant level of
the respective cooling systems and
have the cause of a possible coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Caution
Make sure that you never run the
vehicle with insufficient coolant.
A low coolant level can cause
damage to the vehicle.
Heater cooling system
The coolant reservoir is located in the engine compartment.
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C.
Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
If the engine cooling system is cold,
the coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.
9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
approved coolant concentrate mixed
with tap water. Install the cap tightly.

232Vehicle careThe following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
● Driveability may be affected.● Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
● Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road
surfaces.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 254.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.

Choose a tyre appropriate for the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.
Performance 3 252.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey.
This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Tyre pressure 3 254.
The tyre pressure information label on the left door frame indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of
energy consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and efficiency and will increase tyre wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options.
