2014 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA stop start

Driving and operating131
No automatic shifting to a higher geartakes place at a high engine speed.
For reasons of safety, kickdown is
also available in manual mode.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases
engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
■ The automatic neutral shift function
automatically shifts to idling when
the vehicle is stopped with a
forward gear engaged.
■ When Sport mode is engaged, the vehicle shifts at higher engine
speeds (unless cruise control is
on). Sport mode 3 140.Winter programme T
Activate the Winter programme to
assist starting off on a slippery road surface.
Activation on vehicles without manual
mode
Press the T button with P, R , N , D or
3 engaged. The vehicle starts off in
3rd gear.
Activation on vehicles with manual mode
In automatic mode, press the T
button. Depending on road
conditions, the vehicles starts off in 2nd or 3rd gear.
Deactivation
The Winter programme is switched off by:
■ pressing the T button again,
■ manually selecting 2 or 1,
■ changing to manual mode,
■ turning off the ignition,
■ or if the transmission oil temperature is too high.

Driving and operating135
Starting off
Depress the foot brake and move the selector lever to A, + or -. The
transmission is in automatic mode
and first gear is engaged. If R is
selected, reverse gear is engaged.
The vehicle starts to move when the
brake is released.
To start off without depressing the
foot brake, accelerate immediately
after engaging a gear.
If neither the accelerator nor the
brake pedal are depressed, no gear
is engaged and A or R flashes for a
brief time in the display.
Stopping the vehicle
In A, first gear is engaged and the
clutch is released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains
engaged.
Engine braking Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairlyhigh engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when
braking.
Manual mode
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill.
Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow. Move the selector
lever between R and A in a repeat
pattern. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the
transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.Manual mode
If a higher gear is selected when the
engine speed is too low, or a lower
gear when the speed is too high, the
shift is not executed. This prevents
the engine from running at too low or
too high an engine speed.
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
If engine speed is too high, the
transmission only switches to a higher gear via kickdown.
When + or - is selected in automatic
mode, the transmission switches to
manual mode and shifts accordingly.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increases engine speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.

Driving and operating139Parking brake
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release button,
and apply as firmly as possible on a
downhill or uphill slope.
To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release
button and fully lower the lever.
To reduce the operating forces of the
parking brake, depress the foot brake
at the same time.
Control indicator R 3 88.
Brake assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full braking
is required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the
brake pedal is released.
Hill start assist
The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the foot brake after
stopping on an incline, the brakes
remain on for a further 2 seconds. The brakes release automatically as soon
as the vehicle begins to accelerate.Ride control systems
Electronic stability
program
Electronic stability program
(ESP® Plus
) improves driving stability
when necessary, regardless of the
type of road surface or tyre grip. It also
prevents the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to
swerve (understeer/oversteer),
engine output is reduced and the
wheels are braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery road
surfaces.
ESP® Plus
is operational as soon as
control indicator v extinguishes.
When ESP® Plus
comes into action v
flashes.

8. Open the rear power outlet andinsert plug of tyre repair kit.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
9. Switch on the compressor by pressing the on/off switch. The
tyre is filled with sealant.
10. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilstthe sealant bottle is emptying
(approx. 30 seconds). Then the
pressure starts to drop.
11. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
12. The prescribed tyre pressureshould be obtained within
10 minutes. Tyre pressure
3 205 . When the correct pressure
is obtained, switch off the
compressor by pressing the on/off switch again.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Release excess tyre pressure
using the ] button.
Do not run the compressor longer than 10 minutes.
13. Disconnect plug from power outlet, place in plug compartment
and remove tyre repair kit. Push
catch on bracket to remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw
tyre inflation hose to the free
connection of sealant bottle. Thisprevents sealant from escaping.
Stow tyre repair kit in load
compartment.
14. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
15. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from
the sealant bottle and affix in the
driver's field of view.
16. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
6 miles (but no more than 10 minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve and
compressor when doing this.
If tyre pressure is more than
1.3 bar , set it to the correct value.
Repeat the procedure until there
is no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.

186Vehicle care
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering the vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lamps, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Open&Start system 3 28.
Transmission in neutral.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
must be towed facing forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than
60 miles . In all other cases and when
the transmission is defective, the front
axle must be raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Manual transmission automated
3 134.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and refit the cover.
Towing another vehicle
Disengage cap at bottom and remove
downwards.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 171.
