Vauxhall ASTRA Owner's Manual page 36

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.

If the brake or clutch pedal is depressed,
the engine can be started right away with
a single press on the Start/Stop button.
Releasing the Start/Stop button interrupts
the starting procedure.
The engine and the ignition are switched
off by pressing the Start/Stop button again.
The vehicle must be stationary. The
immobiliser is activated at the same time.
If the ignition has been switched off and
the vehicle is stationary, the steering wheel
lock activates automatically when the
driver's door is opened or closed.
The electronic key must be within the
interior reception in order to switch the
ignition on or off. We recommend that the
driver carries the electronic key on his or
her person. If the electronic key is not
recognised, try a different position for
the key.
Do not put the electronic key in the
luggage compartment or in front of the
information display.
