Driving and operating135In manual mode, no automatic
shifting to a higher gear takes place
at high engine revolutions.
Gear shifting 3 85.
Electronic driving programmes
● Following a cold start, the operating temperature
programme increases engine
speed to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the required
temperature.
● Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting
points when driving up inclines or
down hills.
● In snowy or icy conditions or on other slippery surfaces, the
electronic transmission control
enables the driver to select
manually first, second or third
gear for starting off.Kickdown
Pressing down the accelerator pedal
beyond the kickdown detent will lead
to maximum acceleration
independent of selected driving
mode. The transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on enginespeed.

Accessories and vehicle modifications
We recommend the use of genuine parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for this
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products - even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Any modification, conversion or other
changes made to standard vehicle
specifications (including, without
limitation, software modifications,
modifications of the electronic control units) may invalidate the warranty
offered by Vauxhall.
Furthermore, such changes may
affect driver assistance systems, may
impact fuel consumption, CO 2
emissions and other emissions of the
vehicle and cause the vehicle to no
longer conform to the operating
permit, impacting the validity of your
vehicle registration.
180Vehicle careWhen the vehicle battery is beingreplaced, ensure that there are no
open ventilation holes in the vicinity of
the positive terminal. If a ventilation
hole is open in this area, it must be
closed off with a dummy cap, and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Ensure that the vehicle battery is
always replaced by the same type of
battery.
The vehicle battery has to be
replaced by a workshop.
Stop-start system 3 126.
Charging the vehicle battery9 Warning
On vehicles with stop-start
system, ensure that the charging potential does not exceed 14.6 V
when using a battery charger.
Otherwise the vehicle battery may
be damaged.
Jump starting 3 208.
Discharge protection
Battery voltage
When the vehicle battery voltage is
running low, a warning message will
appear in the Driver Information
Centre.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, e.g. the
heated rear window.
The deactivated functions are
reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must
be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Power outlet
The power outlets are deactivated in
the event of low vehicle battery
voltage.Warning label
Meaning of symbols:
● No sparks, naked flames or smoking.
● Always shield eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness or
injury.
● Keep the vehicle battery out of reach of children.
● The vehicle battery contains sulphuric acid which could cause
blindness or serious burn
injuries.
208Vehicle care9Danger
Always drive with folded up and
engaged rear seat backrests when stowing a damaged full size wheel
in the load compartment.
Jump starting
Do not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged vehicle
battery can be started using jump
leads and the vehicle battery of
another vehicle.9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
9 Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
● Never expose the vehicle battery
to naked flames or sparks.
● A discharged vehicle battery can already freeze at a temperature
of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads.
● Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
handling a battery.
● Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 V). Its capacity
(Ah) must not be much less than
that of the discharged vehicle battery.
● Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of
at least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for
diesel engines).
● Do not disconnect the discharged
vehicle battery from the vehicle.
● Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.
● Do not lean over the vehicle battery during jump starting.
● Do not allow the terminals of one
lead to touch those of the other
lead.
Vehicle care209● The vehicles must not come intocontact with each other during
the jump starting process.
● Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral,
automatic transmission in P.
Open the positive terminal protection
caps of both vehicle batteries.
Lead connection order: 1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery.
3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the boosterbattery.
4. Connect the other end of the black
lead to a vehicle grounding point
of your vehicle in the engine
compartment.
Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
To start the engine: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump.
2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be
made for no longer than
15 seconds at an interval of
1 minute.
3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads
connected.
4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear
window) of the vehicle receiving
the jump start.
5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.Towing
Towing the vehicle
Wrap a cloth around the tip of a flat
screwdriver to prevent paint damage.
Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the
bottom of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver
downwards.
The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 195.
