Control i nd icator for imm obiliser A
When the ignition is switched on, the
control indicator A lights up briefly. If the
control indicator flashes when the ignition

sy stem. The engine cannot be started:
1. Turn key to o in ig nition switch and

If the control indicator A continues to
flash, try to start the engine using the spare
key and consult a workshop. We
recommend a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
If the control indicator A lights up after
the engine has started, there is a fault in
the engine elec tronics or the automatic
