Maintenance Modes - Vauxhall Ampera Owner's Manual

Each time the vehicle is started, it will
return to Normal mode to maintain
a smaller battery charge reserve for
normal driving.
Control indicator Mountain 3 64.
Hold mode
Hold mode is only available when the
vehicle is in electric mode. This mode
places the remaining battery charge
into a reserve for the driver to use as
desired. Selecting this mode
transitions the vehicle to extended
range mode to maintain the battery
charge reserve.
Upon exiting Hold mode, the reserved
battery charge becomes available
again and the vehicle returns to
electric mode. If the transition is from
Hold mode directly to Mountain
mode, the electric range displayed
adjusts for the Mountain mode charge
reserve.
Hold mode will not change normal
vehicle acceleration or braking
performance.
Press DRIVE MODE to select Hold
mode.
Press DRIVE MODE again to return
to Normal mode and it becomes
active after three seconds.
Each time the vehicle is started, it will
return to Normal mode.
Control indicator Hold 3 64.
