With the vehicle not running for at
least one minute, the maximum fluid
level (A) is at the top of the reservoir
body. With the vehicle running, the
fluid level should be in the proper
operating range (B) between the
MIN and MAX marks. If it is not, have
the brake hydraulic system checked
to see if there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake
hydraulic system, make sure the
level, with the vehicle running, is in
the proper operating range (B)
between the MIN and MAX marks.
Only use high-performance brake

Only a trained service technician
with the proper knowledge and
tools may inspect, test or replace
the high voltage battery.
Seek the assistance of
a workshop if the high voltage

system may shut down the high
voltage system. When this occurs, the
high voltage battery is disconnected
and the vehicle will not start. A service
message will be displayed in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC).
Before the vehicle can be operated

a workshop.
A vehicle cover, which can reduce
sun loading on the vehicle and
improve high voltage battery life, is
available from your Vauxhall Ampera
Authorised Repairer.
The Vauxhall Ampera Authorised
Repairer has information on how to
recycle the high voltage battery.
Keep the vehicle plugged in, even
when fully charged, to keep the high
voltage battery temperature ready for
the next drive. This is important when
outside temperatures are extremely
hot or cold.
Refer to the replacement number
shown on the original battery label
when a new 12 volt battery is needed.
The vehicle has an Absorbed Glass
