Opel Corsa: Vehicle battery / Discharge protection
Battery voltage
When the vehicle battery voltage is
running low, a warning message will
appear in the Driver Information
Centre.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
window, heated steering wheel, etc.
The deactivated functions are
reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must
be increased. This will be achieved by
an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Power outlet
The power outlets are deactivated in
the event of low vehicle battery
voltage.
Warning
On vehicles with stop-start
system, ensure that the charging
potential does not exceed 14.6 V
when using a battery charger.
Otherwise the vehicle battery may
be damaged...
Meaning of symbols:
No sparks, naked flames or
smoking.
Always shield eyes. Explosive
gases can cause blindness or
injury.
The vehicle battery contains
sulphuric acid which could cause
blindness or serious burn
injuries...
Other information:
Use the adaptive cruise control
carefully on bends or mountain
roads, as it can lose the vehicle
ahead and needs time to detect it
again.
Do not use the system on
slippery roads as it can create
rapid changes in tyre traction
(wheel spinning), so that you
could lose control of the vehicle...
Heavy objects in the load
compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Make
sure that the backrests are
securely engaged. If objects can
be stacked, heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
Prevent sliding of loose objects
by securing them with straps
attached to the lashing eyes...
