Operation Manual

Service, maintenance204
In cold weather, do not fill the windscreen
wash fluid reservoir more than three-
quarters full, to allow enough room for
expansion if the fluid freezes, and to
prevent damage to the reservoir.
In freezing conditions, use windscreen
wash fluid with sufficient antifreezing
properties. Do not use coola nt antifreeze or
tap water, to a void freezing the solution
and damaging the wind screen wash
system.
When closing the container, press the lid
down firmly all the way round.
If the fluid in the windscreen wash fluid
reservoir is too low, control indicator G
illuminates in the instrument cluster -
see page 69. Top up wash fluid as soon as
possible.

Battery
The battery is maintenance-free.
Retro-fitted electrical or electronic
accessories can place an additional load
on the battery or discharge the battery.
Consult a workshop regarding technical
possibilities, such as fitting a more powerful
battery.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
6 weeks can lead to battery discharge,
which may reduce the service life of the
battery. Disconnect battery from on-board
power supp ly by detaching negative
terminal (Vauxhall alarm system 3 is then
disabled).
Ensure that ig nition is switched off before
connecting the battery. Then perform the
following actions:
z Set date and time in the information
displa y - see pages 76, 82.
z If necessary, activate the electric
windows and sunroof 3 - see pages
28, 30.
In order to prevent the battery from
discharging, some consumers such as the
courtesy lights automatically switch off
after a delay.
