Manual Transmission - Vauxhall 2009 Tigra Owner's Manual

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 3 127.
If the cause is not a discharged battery,
contact a workshop. If the vehicle must be
removed from moving traffic, disengage
the clutch:
1. Apply handbrake and switch off ignition.
2. Open bonnet and engage support.
3. Clean transmission around the cap (see
Fig. 16435 S) so that no dirt can get into
the opening when the cap is removed.
4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove by
lifting upwards – see Fig. 16435 S.
5. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise using
a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools
3 133) until clear resistance can be felt.
The clutch has now been disengaged.
Caution
Do not turn beyond the resistance,
since this can damage the Easytronic.
6. Fit cleaned cap again. The cap must be
in full contact with the housing.
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.
Contact a workshop immediately.
Driving and Operation

Manual transmission

To engage reverse, with the vehicle
stationary, depress the clutch pedal, wait
3 seconds, then raise ring under gearshift
lever and engage gear.
If the gear does not engage, set the lever in
neutral, release the clutch pedal and
depress again; then repeat gear selection.
Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch pedal
completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot
rest (increases clutch wear).
