Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

For vehicles with manual transmission, the 

most favourable engine speed when 

starting-off on an incline is between 2500 

and 3000 rpm for petrol engines and 

between 2000 and 2500 rpm for diesel 

engines. Hold engine speed constant, 

engage clutch gradually (let slip), release 

handbrake and open throttle. If possible, 

the engine speed should not drop during 

this procedure. 

For vehicles with Easytronic 3, it is 

sufficient to apply full throttle when in 

Automatic mode.
Before starting-off under extreme 

conditions (high combination weight, 

mountainous terrain with steep inclines), 

switch off all unnecessary electrical loads 

such as heated rear window 3, 

air conditioning system 3 and heated front 

seats 3.
