Driving and operating127
Activation
Press the T button. The transmission
switches to automatic mode. The
vehicle starts off in 2nd gear. Sport
mode is deactivated.
Deactivation
The Winter mode is switched off by:
■ pressing the T button again,
■ turning off the ignition,
■ switching to manual mode (when switched back to automatic mode,
the Winter programme is again
active),
■ when clutch temperature is too high.Kickdown
If the accelerator pedal is pressed
past the pressure point, the
transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed.
Fault
To prevent damage to the manual transmission automated, the clutch is
engaged automatically at high clutch
temperatures.
A illuminates in the event of a fault.
Continued driving is possible. Manual
mode cannot be used for shifting.
If F appears in the transmission
display, continued driving is not
possible.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Interruption of power
supply
The clutch is not disengaged if there is an interruption of the power supply
when a gear is engaged. The vehicle
cannot move.
If the battery is discharged, start the
vehicle using jump leads 3 187.
If the cause of the fault is not a
discharged battery, seek the
assistance of a workshop.

128Driving and operating
If the vehicle must be moved out of
the flow of traffic, disengage the
clutch as follows:
1. Apply parking brake and switch off
ignition.
2. Open the bonnet 3 147.
3. Clean the transmission around the cap so that no dirt can get into
the opening when the cap is
removed.
4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove
by lifting upwards.
5. Using a flat-head screwdriver,
turn the adjusting screw under the
cap clockwise until clear
resistance can be felt. The clutch
has now been disengaged.
6. Refit cleaned cap. The cap must be in full contact with the housing.Caution
Do not turn beyond the resistancesince this could damage the
transmission.
Caution
Towing the vehicle and starting
the engine is not permitted when
the clutch has been disengaged in this way, although the vehicle can
be moved a short distance.
Seek the immediate assistance of a
workshop.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when you depress the
brake pedal firmly. You need to use
considerably more force for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has
been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 81.
Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.

Driving and operating131
When ESP®Plus
is deactivated the
control indicator v illuminates.
ESPoff also appears in the service
display.9 Warning
Do not deactivate ESP® Plus
if a
run-flat tyre has lost pressure.
ESP® Plus
is reactivated by pressing
the v button. ESPon appears in the
service display. ESP® Plus
is also
reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.
Driver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds of approx. 20 to
120 mph.
Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or
downhill.
For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
With automatic transmission or
manual transmission automated, only
activate cruise control in automatic
mode.
Control indicator m 3 85.

In left-hand drive vehicles, the fuse
box is behind the light switch. Pull the top edge of the panel and fold down.

Vehicle care187Jump starting
Do not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged battery
can be started using jump leads and the 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.
Notice
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.
■ A discharged battery can already freeze at temperatures of 0 °C.
Defrost the frozen battery before
connecting jump leads.
■ Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The
fluid contains sulphuric acid which
can cause injuries and damage in
the event of direct contact.
■ Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its
capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged
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 battery from the vehicle.
■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical
consumers.
■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other
lead.
■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during thejump starting process.
■ Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral, automatic
transmission in P.
■ Open the positive terminal protection caps of both batteries.

Vehicle care189Towing
Towing the vehicle
Insert a suitable screwdriver in the
slot at the lower bend of the cap.
Release the cap by carefully moving
the screwdriver downwards.
Corsa VXR: Disengage and remove
cap by pressing on the lower part of
the cap.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 170 . The towing eye is
located in a recess.
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 lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
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.

190Vehicle care
Vehicles with automatic transmissionmust 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
3 124.
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 3 170.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
The lashing eye at the rear
underneath the vehicle must never be used as a towing eye.
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 a vehicle.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
