Service, maintenance

Battery 

The battery is maintenance-free. 

Fitting of electrical or electronic accessories 

at a later date can discharge or add extra 

load to the battery. Take advice on the 

technical possibilities, e.g. use of 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. 
The Vauxhall alarm system 3 siren must be 

deactivated as follows: switch the ignition 

on then off, disconnect the vehicle’s 

battery within 15 seconds. 
Ensure that ignition is switched off before 

connecting battery. Then perform the 

following actions:
z Setting date and time in the information 

display, see pages 124, 127, 132.

z If necessary activate the window and 

sunroof electronics 3, see pages 51, 54.

In order to prevent the battery from 

discharging, some consumers such as the 

courtesy light automatically switch off 

after approx. 20 minutes. 
Disconnecting/connecting the battery 

from/to the electrical system 

Before charging, isolate the battery from 

the on-board network. First remove the 

negative and then the positive terminal. 
Do not reverse the polarity of the battery, 

i.e. the terminals for the positive and 

negative leads. When connecting, start 

with the positive lead and then connect the 

negative lead.

Protecting electronic components 

In order to prevent faults in electronic 

components in the electrical system, never 

connect or disconnect battery with engine 

running or ignition switched on. Never start 

engine with battery disconnected, e.g. 

when starting using jump leads. 
To avoid damaging the vehicle, do not 

make any modifications to the electrical 

system, e.g. connecting additional 

consumers or tampering with electronic 

control units (chip tuning). 

9

 Warning

Have the battery change performed by a 

workshop. Please comply with the legal, 

environmental and health regulations as 

regards the disposal of old batteries. 

9

 Warning

Electronic ignition systems generate very 

high voltages. Do not touch the ignition 

system; high voltage can be fatal. 

307

Service, maintenance

Vehicle decommissioning 

Observe national regulations.
If the vehicle is to be parked for several 

months, to avoid damage have the 

following work performed by a workshop. 
z Wash and preserve the vehicle, see 

page 289. 

z Check corrosion protection in engine 

compartment and on underbody and 

repair if necessary.

z Clean and wax the rubber seals of the 

bonnet, doors and roof. Intermediate 

position of the Astra TwinTop roof for 

cleaning – see page 58. 

z Change engine oil, see page 300.
z Check antifreeze and corrosion 

protection, see page 301.

z Check the coolant level, top up with 

antifreeze if necessary, see page 301.

z Empty windscreen wash system and 

headlight wash system. 

z Increase tyre pressure to value specified 

for full load, see page 337. 

Vehicle storage 

z Park vehicle in dry, well ventilated place. 

With manual transmission or 

Easytronic 3, engage 1st or reverse 

gear. With automatic transmission 3, 

move selector lever to P. Use chocks or 

the like to prevent the vehicle from 

rolling.

z Do not apply handbrake.
z Disconnect battery by disengaging 

negative terminal from vehicle electrical 

system, see page 306.

Vehicle recommissioning

Observe national regulations.
Perform the following work before 

recommissioning the vehicle:
z Connect battery, see page 306.
z Check tyre pressure and correct if 

necessary, see page 337.

z Fill up windscreen wash system, see 

page 305.

z Check engine oil level, see page 298.
z Check the coolant level; top up with 

antifreeze if necessary, see page 301. 

z Fit the number plates if necessary.

Technical data

Fuel consumption, CO

2

 emissions 

Directive 80/1268/EEC (last modified 

by 2004/3/EC) has applied for the 

measurement of fuel consumption 

since 1996.

The directive is oriented to actual driving 

practices: Urban driving is rated at 

approx.

1

/

3 

and off-road driving with 

approx. 

2

/

3

 (urban and extra-urban 

consumption). Cold starts and acceleration 

phases are also taken into consideration. 
The specification of CO

2

 emission is also a 

constituent of the directive.

The figures given must not be taken as a 

guarantee for the actual fuel consumption 

of a particular vehicle. 
All values are based on the EU base model 

with standard equipment. 
The calculation of fuel consumption as 

specified by directive 2004/3/EC takes 

account of the vehicle’s kerbweight, 

ascertained in accordance with these 

regulations. Optional extras may result in 

slightly higher fuel consumption and CO

2

 

emission levels than those quoted. 
To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282 

by number of litres/100 km.
Saving fuel, protecting the environment, 

see page 200.
