Electronically Controlled Driving Programmes; Automatic Transmission - Vauxhall 2007 Vectra Operating & Safety Manual

Electronically controlled driving
programmes
z With adaptive programmes, shifting into
other gears is handled automatically
based on the driving style, e.g.:
– Economical driving style: at slower
engine speeds.
– Adaptation to special driving
conditions still takes place, such as:
driving up and down hills, towing a
caravan or trailer, and with a heavy
load.

z Automatic neutral shift function
automatically sets the transmission to N
to reduce fuel consumption, e.g. at
traffic lights.
The automatic neutral shift function is
activated when the following occurs
simultaneously:
– The selector lever is in Automatic or
Manual mode.
– The foot brake is depressed.
– The vehicle is stationary.
– The accelerator pedal is not
actuated.
– The transmission oil temperature is
above 0 °C.
As soon as the brake is released and the
accelerator pedal is depressed, the
vehicle starts off in the usual manner.
z After a cold start, the operating
temperature programme ensures that
the correct gear (increased engine
speed) is selected to quickly bring the
catalytic converter to the temperature
required for optimum pollutant
reduction.
