Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

Picture no: 13322a.tif

Accelerator pedal pressed past the 

pressure point: below certain speeds, the 

transmission shifts down into a lower gear. 

Full engine power is available for 

acceleration. 
During kickdown no manual gearshifting is 

possible. 
When the engine speed approaches its 

upper limit, the transmission shifts to a 

higher gear during kickdown even in 

Manual mode. 
Without kickdown this automatic shift is 

not effected in Manual mode. 

When driving downhill, Easytronic does not 

shift into higher gears until a fairly high 

engine speed has been reached. When 

braking, Easytronic shifts down in good 

time.
Manual mode

To utilise the engine braking effect, select a 

lower gear in good time when driving 

downhill. 

If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle 

to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole, 

move the selector lever between the mid 

position and R in a repeat pattern while 

simultaneously applying light pressure to 

the accelerator pedal. Do not race the 

engine and avoid sudden acceleration. 
This applies only to the exceptional 

circumstances mentioned above. 

Before leaving the vehicle: 

z Engage handbrake

z Remove ignition key. 
The last gear engaged is retained. When 

the selector lever is in position N no gear is 

engaged.
When the ignition is switched off the 

Easytronic no longer responds to 

movement of the selector lever.
If the ignition key is not removed, the 

battery may be discharged if the vehicle is 

then left to stand for a lengthy period of 

time. 
If the handbrake has not been applied, the 

control indicator R flashes for a few 

seconds after the ignition is switched off.
