System limitations In some cases, the active emergencybraking system may provide
automatic braking in situations that
seem to be unnecessary, for instance
in parking garages, due to traffic signs
in a curve or due to vehicles in
another lane. This is normal
operation, the vehicle does not need
a service. Firmly apply the accelerator pedal if the situation and
surroundings permit to override the
automatic braking.In the following cases, active
emergency braking performance is
limited:
● When driving on winding or hilly roads.
● When not all vehicles are detected, especially vehicles witha trailer, tractors, muddy
vehicles, etc.
● When detecting a vehicle when weather limits visibility, such as infog, rain, or snow.
● During nighttime driving.
● When weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.
● When the sensor in the windscreen is blocked by snow,
ice, slush, mud, dirt, windscreen
damage or affected by foreign
items, e.g. stickers.
To avoid malfunction keep the areas
of the camera sensor in the
windscreen always clear of dirt, dust,
ice and snow.Complete attention is always required
while driving, and you should be
ready to take action and apply the

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 occurunder 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.

Airbag system 3 45.
A vehicle cover, which can reduce
sun loading on the vehicle and
improve high voltage battery life, is
available from your Opel Ampera-e
Service Partner.
The Opel Ampera-e Service Partner has information on how to recycle the high voltage battery.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even
when fully charged, to keep the high
voltage battery temperature ready for
the next drive. This is important when
outside temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
Refer to the replacement number
shown on the original 12 V vehicle
battery label if a new 12 V vehicle
battery is required. The vehicle has
an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) 12 V
vehicle battery.
Installation of a standard 12 V vehicle battery will result in reduced 12 V
vehicle battery life. When using a 12 V battery charger on the AGM
12 V vehicle battery, note that some chargers have an AGM battery
setting on the charger. If available,
use the AGM setting on the charger to limit charge voltage to 14.8 V.
Follow the charger manufacturer's
instructions.
234Vehicle carereplacement or alternative tyres andwheels allow the tyre pressure
monitoring system to continue to
function properly.
A spare wheel is not equipped with a
pressure sensor. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational
for these wheels. Control indicator w
illuminates. For the further three
wheels the system remains
operational.
The use of commercially-available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors
must be dismounted and serviced. For the screwed sensor, replace
valve core and sealing ring. For the
clipped sensor, replace complete
valve stem.Vehicle loading status

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.
