Vehicle care233
To access the tyre pressure page,
choose vehicle info menu via right
steering wheel buttons and press
{ or } to select tyre pressure.
To reset the system: ● Press and hold 9 until the tyre
pressure monitoring system asks
for a check.
● Press 9 again to confirm. The
vehicle honks twice.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message
indicating the corresponding tyre in
the Driver Information Centre.
The system considers the tyre
temperature for the warnings.
Temperature dependency 3 231.
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 80.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 253.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after driving, this
could be an indicator for approaching a low tyre pressure condition. Check
tyre pressure.
Vehicle messages 3 89.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased, switch off vehicle.
Winter tyres or additional wheel sets
must be fitted with sensors, otherwise the system will not work and control
indicator w illuminates continuously.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tyre pressure control
indicator. If the system detects a
malfunction, w will flash for approx.
1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists.
If the malfunction indicator w is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre
pressure as intended. Tyre pressure
monitoring system malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
tyre pressure monitoring system from functioning properly. Always check
the tyre pressure monitoring system
malfunction control indicator w after
replacing one or more tyres or wheels
on your vehicle to ensure that the

236Vehicle careTyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
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 205/55 R16 and 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.
Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at the tyre's sidewall cannot be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
a forward gear or the reverse gear.
The tyre repair kit is in the tool box
under the floor cover in the load
compartment.
1. Open the floor cover.

242Vehicle careTowingTowing the vehicleCaution
Incorrect towing of a disabled
vehicle may cause damage to the
vehicle. The disabled vehicle
should only be towed on a flatbed
car carrier.
Ensure the vehicle is only towed
by well trained technicians.
Wrap a cloth around the tip of a slot
screwdriver to prevent paint damage. Insert the screwdriver in the slot at the
short edge of the cap. Release the
cap by carefully moving the
screwdriver sidewards.
The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 230.
Screw in the towing eye anticlockwise
as far as it will go until it stops in a
horizontal position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
Switch on the vehicle to release
steering wheel lock and to permit
operation of brake lights, horn and
windscreen wiper.Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 168, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake during towing.
Shift the selector lever of the electric
drive unit into N.
Release the electric parking brake.
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.
