Open&Start system

The Open&Start system allows the vehicle
to be locked and unlocked, including the
anti-theft locking system 3 and the
Vauxhall alarm system 3, and the engine
to be started and stopped without a
mechanical key. All the driver has to do is
keep the key on his person.
Depending on the equipment level of the
vehicle 3 , the windows of vehicles with
electric windows in all doors 3 can be
opened or closed from outside using the
remote control of the electronic key
- page 79.
On the Astra TwinTop, the roof can also be
opened or closed with the remote control 3
of the electronic key.
The electronic key must be within the
external reception range about 1 metre
from the vehicle in order to lock and unlock
the vehicle.
If the electronic key is recognized as
"authorised," the vehicle can be unlocked
by pulling a door handle or the knob
beneath the tailgate handle and the doors
and the tailgate can be opened.
When the Start/Stop button is pressed, the
system re-checks the authorisation. The
electronic key has to be recognised in the
interior in order to do this. After the key has
been authorised the ignition switches on.
At the same time, the electronic
immobiliser is switched off and the electro-
mechanical steering column lock is
deactivated. Pressing the Start/Stop button
again with the brake or clutch pedal
depressed or in P or N with automatic
transmission 3 starts the engine. Press the
button for at least one second with the
vehicle stationary or hold until the engine
starts.
