Service and Maintenance — Electrical System (Opel Ascona C)

Perform the following procedures at the time intervals specified in Section "Maintenance and care", given at the beginning of this Guide.

1. Remove the caps from the battery cells and check the electrolyte level as described in Section 3. Complete the level if necessary.

2. Check the condition of the alternator belt and adjust its tension if necessary, referring to the following for details: Chapter 2.

3. Check the headlights periodically to ensure they are functioning properly (front and back), windscreen wipers and washers, as well as an audible signal.
