Vauxhall 2009 Tigra Owner's Manual page 107

Winter programme T
In the event of difficulties starting-off on
slippery roads, press button T ("A" and T
appear in the transmission display). The
Easytronic switches to Automatic mode
and the vehicle sets-off in second gear.
The Winter programme is switched off by:
z pressing the T button again,
z turning off the ignition,
z switching to Manual mode,
z 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.
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.
Driving and Operation
Engine braking
Automatic mode:
When driving downhill, the Easytronic does
not shift into higher gears until a fairly high
engine speed has been reached. When
braking, it shifts down in good time.
Manual mode:
To utilise the engine braking effect, select a
lower gear in good time when driving
downhill.
"Rocking" the vehicle
Only if it becomes necessary to rock the
vehicle to free it from sand, mud, snow or a
hole, move the selector lever between o
(centre position) and R in a repeat pattern.
Do not race the engine and avoid sudden
acceleration.
