Opel Corsa: Vehicle checks / Vehicle battery
The vehicle battery is maintenancefree
provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.

Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
four weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from
the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
Brakes
In the event of minimum thickness of
the brake lining, a squealing noise
sounds during braking.
Continued driving is possible but
have the brake lining replaced as
soon as possible...
Note
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this section may lead to
temporary deactivation or
disturbance of the stop-start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal...
Other information:
The damaged full size wheel can be
stowed in the spare wheel well. To
secure the wheel:
Remove centre cap with the brand
emblem by pushing from the
inside.
Position the wheel outside down
in the wheel well.
Secure the defective wheel with
the wing nut...
Active emergency braking can help to
reduce the damage and injury from
crashes with vehicles and
pedestrians directly ahead, when the
driver does not actively take action
either by manual braking or by
steering. Before the active
emergency braking applies, the driver
is warned by the forward collision
alert...
