2016 VAUXHALL COMBO ECO mode

Driving and operating117chime will sound and the
transmission automatically shifts to
N in certain situations.
When stopping on gradients, engage
parking brake or depress the brake pedal. To prevent overheating of theclutch, an intermittent audible
warning chime may sound as a signal
to depress the brake pedal or apply
the parking brake.
Switch off engine if stopping for a
lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.
Engine braking
Automatic mode
When driving downhill, the manual
transmission automated does not
shift into higher gears until a fairly
high 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, snow or a hole. Move the
selector lever between R and A/M (or
between + and -) in a repeat pattern,
while applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal. Do not race the
engine and avoid sudden
acceleration.
Parking
Apply the parking brake. The most
recently engaged gear (see
transmission display) remains
engaged.Caution
Do not leave the vehicle with the
transmission in position N.
When the ignition is switched on, a
warning chime will sound when the
vehicle is parked if the transmission is
still in N.
When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to
movement of the selector lever.
Manual mode
If engine speed is too low, the
transmission automatically shifts to a
lower gear.
In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions. If engine
speed is too high, the transmission
only switches to a higher gear via
kickdown 3 118.
When gearshifting is recommended
to improve fuel economy, control
indicator [ or Ò illuminates in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 80.

118Driving and operatingElectronic drivingprogrammes
Eco mode E
When automatic mode is engaged,
the Eco mode can be selected to
reduce fuel consumption.
Eco mode selects the most suitable gear depending on the speed of the
vehicle, the engine speed and the
intensity with which the accelerator is pressed.
Activation
Press E on the selector lever housing.
Control indicator E is shown in the
transmission display to indicate
activation.
Deactivation
Eco mode is switched off by:
● pressing E again
● switching to manual mode
In order to protect the transmission at extremely high clutch temperatures,
an intermittent audible warning chime
may sound. In such cases, depress
the brake pedal, select N and apply
the parking brake to allow the clutch
to cool down.
Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower gear
depending on engine speed. Full
engine power is available for
acceleration.If engine speed is too high the
transmission switches to a higher
gear, even in manual mode. Without
kickdown this automatic shift is not
effected in manual mode.
Fault
In the event of a fault, control indicator s is shown in the transmission
display.
Continued driving is possible,
provided the vehicle is driven with
care and anticipation. A warning
message may appear in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) in
conjunction with a warning chime
3 90.
Notice
The volume of the warning chime can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) 3 85.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
