Retrofitted electrical or electronic
accessories can place an additional
load on the 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 battery. Then
perform the following actions:
1. Set date and time in the
information display 3 74.
2. If necessary, activate the power
windows and sun roof 3 29, 3 31.
In order to prevent the battery from
discharging, some consumers such
as the courtesy lights automatically
switch off after a delay.
Charge a disconnected battery every
6 weeks.

Replacing the battery
Notice
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
When the 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 battery.
In vehicles with stop-start system,
ensure to have the AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery replaced with an
AGM battery again.
An AGM battery can be identified by
the label on the battery. We
recommend the use of an original
Vauxhall battery.
Notice
Using an AGM battery different from
the original Vauxhall battery might
result in a lower performance of the
stop-start system.
We recommend that you have the
battery replaced by a workshop.
