236Vehicle careTyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains used on a vehicle without
the proper amount of clearance can
cause damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle parts.
The area damaged by the tyre chains could cause loss of control and a
crash. Use another type of traction
device only if its manufacturer
recommends it for the vehicle's tyre
size combination and road conditions.
Follow that manufacturer's
instructions. To avoid vehicle
damage, drive slowly and readjust or
remove the traction device if it
contacts the vehicle. Do not spin the
wheels. If traction devices are used,
install them on the front tyres.
On tyres of size 205/55 R16 and 215/50 R17 only use special snow
chains which are permitted for Opel
Ampera-e and tyres of these sizes. For further information contact a
workshop.
Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at the tyre's sidewall cannot be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
a forward gear or the reverse gear.
The tyre repair kit is in the tool box
under the floor cover in the load
compartment.
1. Open the floor cover.

244Vehicle careDo not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and
glass surfaces: remnants of wax on
the windows will impair vision.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not use hard objects to remove
spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on painted surfaces.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them
dry.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits
have become attached to it.Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.
Windows and wiper blades Switch off wipers before handling in
their areas.
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleanerand insect remover.
When cleaning the rear window from
inside, always wipe in parallel to the
heating element to prevent damage.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the
scraper firmly against the glass so
that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Remove dirt residues from smearing
wiper blades by using a soft cloth and window cleaner. Also make sure to
remove any residues such as wax,
insect residues and similar from the
window.Ice residues, pollution and continuous
wiping on dry windows will damage or
even destroy the wiper blades.
Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage with
a touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop.
Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle underbody
have a PVC undercoating while other critical areas have a durable
protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check
the underbody and have it waxed if
necessary.
