Daytime running lights
Daytime running lights increase
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
While the daytime running light is
active, the tail lights and the sidelights are switched off.
Please remember that the low beam
should be switched on when required.
Hazard warning flashers Operated by pressing ¨.
In the event of an accident with airbag
deployment, the hazard warning
flashers are activated automatically.
Turn lightsstalk up:right turn lightstalk down:left turn light
A resistance point can be felt when
moving the stalk.
Constant flashing is activated when
the stalk is being moved beyond the
resistance point. It is deactivated
when the steering wheel is moved in
the opposite direction or stalk is
manually moved back to its neutral
position.

152Driving and operatingThe instrument cluster also displays
an active battery gauge when the
vehicle is ready to be driven.
A chime will sound if the driver's door is opened while the vehicle is
switched on. Always press
POWER m to switch off the vehicle
before exiting the vehicle.
If the vehicle will not start due to a low electronic key battery, the vehicle can
still be driven.
Operation in case of failure 3 149.
RestartingCaution
If the vehicle must be restarted
while it is still moving, move the
selector lever into N and press
POWER m twice without
depressing the brake pedal. The
propulsion system will not restart
in any other way.
Emergency shut off during driving
1. Brake using a firm and steady pressure. Do not pump the brakes
repeatedly. This may reduce
power assist, requiring increased brake pedal force.
2. Shift the selector lever into N. This
can be done while the vehicle is
moving. After shifting into N, firmly
apply the brakes and steer the
vehicle to a safe location.
3. Come to a complete stop, shift into P, and switch off the vehicle
by pressing POWERm.
4. Apply the parking brake. If the vehicle cannot be pulled
over and must be shut off while
driving, press and hold
POWER m for more than
2 seconds, or press twice briefly
within 5 seconds.9 Danger
Switching off the vehicle while
moving may disable the airbags.
While driving, only shut the
propulsion system off in an
emergency.
Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
It is recommended to plug in the vehicle when exterior temperatures
are below 0 °C to maximise high
voltage battery life.
Should the exterior temperature be
lower than -32 °C, the vehicle must be
plugged in when the vehicle is
switched on.
Parking Note
Do not allow the vehicle to remain in
extreme temperatures for long
periods without being driven or
being plugged in.

Vehicle care217When the vehicle has not been
running for at least 1 minute, the
maximum fluid level is at the top of the
reservoir body. When the vehicle is
running, the brake fluid level must be
between the MIN and MAX marks.
If the brake fluid level is below MIN
seek the assistance of a workshop.
After work is done on the brake
hydraulic system, make sure the fluid level is in the proper operating rangebetween the MIN and MAX marks
when the vehicle is running. Only use
high-performance brake fluid
approved for the vehicle. Consult a
workshop.
Brake fluid 3 248.
Vehicle battery9 Danger
Only a trained service technician
with the proper knowledge and
tools may inspect, test or replace
the high voltage battery.
Seek the assistance of a
workshop if the high voltage
battery needs service.
This vehicle has a high voltage
battery and a 12 V vehicle battery.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash, the
sensing system may shut down the
high voltage system. If this occurs,
the high voltage battery will be
disconnected and the vehicle will not
start.
A service message will be displayed
in the Driver Information Centre.
Before the vehicle can be operated
again, it must be serviced at 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 authorised
repairer 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 AGM12 V vehicle battery, note that somechargers 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.

260Customer informationThis data includes, for example:● Vehicle status information (e.g. wheel rotation rate, speed,
movement delay, lateral
acceleration, "seatbelts
fastened" display),
● Ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor).
Most of this data is volatile and is
processed only in the vehicle itself, and not beyond the operating time.
Moreover, many control units include
data storage device (amongst others the vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.
The following information, for
example, is stored:
● System component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status),
● State of charge of the high voltage battery, estimated range
(in the case of electric vehicles),● Faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes),
● System reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggeringof an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems),
● Information on events damaging the vehicle.
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services, the operating
data saved can be read together with the vehicle identification number andused if necessary. Staff working for
the service net-work (e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. Services
include repair services, maintenance
processes, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which has been read
out documents the technical conditionof the vehicle or individual
components and assists with fault
diagnosis, compliance with warranty
obligations and quality improvement.
This data, in particular information on component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also needs operating data
from vehicles for product recalls.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs.
Comfort and Infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and custom settings
can be stored in the vehicle and
changed at any time.
