Charging
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even if

Maintenance

inflated and the vehicle properly
aligned.
The weight of additional cargo in the
vehicle affects efficiency and range.
Avoid carrying more than is needed.
If fuel is not regularly used, consider
keeping the fuel tank only one‐third

accessories. Power used for
functions other than propelling the
vehicle will reduce electric vehicle

The mounting of a roof rack is not
approved for the Ampera.
