clutch VAUXHALL VIVARO 2018 User Guide

Driving and operating145Manual transmission
To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary depress the clutch pedal, pull up the collar on the selector lever
and engage the gear against the
resistance.
If the gear does not engage, set the
lever in neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then repeat
gear selection.
Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
Caution
It is inadvisable to drive with hand
resting on the selector lever.
Upshift 3 97.
Stop-start system 3 134.
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.
If control indicator R illuminates in
the instrument cluster while driving
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 100, there is a fault in the
braking system. Seek the assistance
of a workshop immediately.

152Driving and operatingAutomatic deactivation:● vehicle speed drops below 20 mph
● the brake pedal is depressed
● the clutch pedal is depressed
● selector lever in N
● engine speed is in a very low or very high range
The speed is stored and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Reactivation Press R at a speed above 20 mph.
If the stored speed is much higher
than the current speed, the vehicle
will accelerate powerfully until the
stored speed is obtained.
Pressing < will also reactivate the
cruise control function, but at the
current vehicle speed only, not the stored speed.
Deleting the stored speedPress m; Green control indicators
U and m extinguish in the instrument
cluster.Cruise control speed limiter
The speed limiter prevents the
vehicle exceeding a preset maximum
speed above 20 mph.
Activation
Press U; control indicator U
illuminates yellow in the instrument
cluster.
Cruise control speed limiter function
is now in standby mode and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Accelerate to the desired speed and
press < or ]. The current speed is
recorded.
The vehicle can be driven normally
but it will not be possible to exceed the programmed speed limit except in an
emergency.
Where the limit speed cannot be
maintained, e.g. when driving on a
steep decline, the limit speed will
flash in the Driver Information Centre
3 100, accompanied by a warning
chime.
Increase limit speed
The limit speed can be increased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping <
repeatedly.
Reduce limit speed
The limit speed can be decreased
continuously or in small increments
by holding down or tapping ]
repeatedly.
Exceeding the limit speed
In the event of an emergency, it is
possible to exceed the limit speed by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly beyond the point of resistance.
The limit speed will flash in the Driver
