Vehicle battery The vehicle is equipped with a lead
acid battery.
Vehicles with stop-start system will be
equipped with an AGM battery which
is not a lead acid battery.
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the vehicle battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
four weeks can lead to vehicle battery discharge. Disconnect the clamp from
the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
The anti-theft alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: Switch the
ignition on then off, disconnect the
vehicle's battery within 15 seconds.

Replacing the vehicle battery
Notice
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this section may lead to
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.
Vehicles with stop-start system

Glass Mat) battery replaced with another AGM battery.

190Vehicle care
An AGM battery can be identified by
the label on the battery. We
recommend the use of an original
Vauxhall battery.

vehicle battery replaced by a
workshop.
