Starting The Engine (Electric Versions Excluded) - Opel MOVANO Owner's Manual

STARTING THE
ENGINE (electric
versions excluded)
39)
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic
motor lock device: if the motor fails to
start, see the "Electronic immobiliser"
chapter in the "Knowing your vehicle"
section.
Before starting the vehicle, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belts
correctly. Never press the accelerator
pedal for starting the engine.
WARNING If the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal are accidentally
pressed at the same time, the system
will consider the braking request
has having a higher priority. In this
condition, the engine will switch to
recovery mode and performance
(engine torque and vehicle speed) will
be limited. To restore normal operation,
simply release the accelerator pedal. It
is not necessary to stop and start the
engine.

PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
take the ignition device to MAR:
the warning lights and
instrument panel will turn on;
wait for the warning lights
to switch off. The hotter the engine
is, the quicker this will happen;
fully depress the clutch pedal without
touching the accelerator;
take the ignition device to AVV as
soon as warning light switches off.
Waiting too long will waste the heating
work carried out by the plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
PROCEDURE
FOR VERSIONS
WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
Starting the engine is allowed only
when the gear lever is in position P or
N. So when the engine is started, the
system is at position N or P (the latter
means neutral, but the vehicle wheels
are locked mechanically).
42)
VEHICLE MOVEMENT
To move the vehicle, from position P
press the brake pedal and move the
gear lever to the desired position (D or
"Sequential mode") to move forward or
R to engage reverse).
The gear engaged will be shown on
the instrument panel display. When
on the
the brake pedal is released, the vehicle
starts moving forwards or backwards,
and
as soon as the manoeuvre is activated
("creeping" effect). It is not necessary
to press the accelerator pedal in this
case.
WARNING The inconsistency between
the speed actually engaged (shown on
the instrument panel display) and the
position of the gear lever is indicated
by the letter corresponding to the
position of the lever flashing on the trim
(also accompanied by an acoustic
signal). This condition should not be
interpreted as an operational fault, but
simply as a request by the system to
repeat the manoeuvre.
WARNING With the parking brake
released and brake pedal released,
engine at idling speed and gear lever
in position D, R or sequential, pay the
utmost care because the vehicle can
move even without the operation of
the accelerator pedal. This condition
