Battery 
The battery is maintenance-free. 
Retro-fitted electrical or electronic 
accessories can place an additional load 
on the battery or even discharge the 
battery. We recommend that you consult a 
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer regarding 
technical possibilities, such as fitting a 
more powerful battery. 
Parking the vehicle for more than 4 weeks 
can lead to battery discharging. This may 
reduce the service life of the battery. 
Disconnect battery from on-board power 
supply by disconnecting the negative 
terminal (Vauxhall alarm system 3 is then 
disabled). 
Ensure that ignition is switched off before 
connecting battery. Then perform the 
following actions:
z Set date and time in information 
display - see page 33.
z If necessary, activate window 
electronics 3 - see page 99.
In order to prevent the battery from 
discharging, some consumers such as the 
courtesy light automatically switch off 
after approx. 30 minutes.

requirements of the law as regards 
disposal of used batteries and can thus 
help to protect the environment and your 
health.
