Retrofitted electrical or electronic
accessories can place an additional
load on the vehicle battery or
discharge the battery. Seek the
assistance of a workshop regarding
technical possibilities, such as fitting
a more powerful battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before reconnecting the vehicle
battery. Then perform the following
actions:
1. Set date and time in the
information display 3 76.
2. If necessary, activate the power
windows and sun roof 3 29, 3 31.
In order to prevent the vehicle battery
from discharging, some consumers
such as the courtesy lights
automatically switch off after a delay.
Charge a disconnected vehicle
battery every 6 weeks.

Replacing the vehicle battery
Note
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, it
must be closed off with a dummy cap,
and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Only use batteries that allow the fuse
box to be mounted above the vehicle
battery.
In vehicles with stop-start system,
ensure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) vehicle battery replaced
with an AGM battery again.
Vehicle care
An AGM battery can be identified by
the label on the battery. We
recommend the use of an original
Vauxhall battery.
Note
Using an AGM vehicle battery
different from the original Vauxhall
vehicle battery may result in a lower
performance of the stop-start
system.
We recommend that you have the
vehicle battery replaced by a
workshop.
Stop-start system 3 124.
