Charging - Vauxhall Ampera Owner's Manual

130 Driving and operating
properly aimed, or if the windshield
is dirty or damaged, it may not
detect the lanes ahead. The lane
departure warning system may not
help avoid a crash under these
conditions. Keep the headlights
cleaned and properly aimed and
the windscreen clean.
The warnings may occasionally occur
due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in
the road, or other road imperfections.
This is normal system operation; the
vehicle does not need servicing.
Lane departure warning system
messages
There are messages that may appear
on the Driver Information Centre
(DIC) in the instrument cluster to
provide information about the lane
departure system.

Charging

This section explains the process of
charging the vehicle's high voltage
battery. Do not allow the vehicle to
remain in places with temperature
extremes for long periods without
being driven or plugged in.
The vehicle has to be plugged in
when the temperatures are below
-25° C to operate properly and to
maximise high voltage battery life.
However, we recommend to plug in
the vehicle when temperatures drop
below 0° C or raise above 32° C.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps resulting in noises coming
from the vehicle while it is turned off.
Additional clicking sounds may be
caused by the electrical devices used
while charging.
While the charge cord is plugged into
the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be
driven.
Charge level selection
The charge level can be selected in
the Colour-Info-Display. Press 8
until Charging is displayed.
The Select Charge Level Preference
setting allows the customer to select
their vehicle's charge level so it
matches the capability of their
charging location. The Select Charge
Level Preference setting will limit the
electrical current when a portable
charge cord is used. This feature has
no impact on charging when a
charging station is used. If the vehicle
consistently stops charging after
plugging in, or if a circuit breaker
continues to trip, reducing to a lower
charge level preference may resolve
the issue.
