Operation Manual

185Easytronic
Interruption of power supply
The clutch is not disengaged if the vehicle
battery is discharged and a gear has been
selected. The vehicle cannot move.
If the battery is flat, start the vehicle using
jump leads – page 248.
If the interruption of power supply was not
caused by a discharged battery, consult a
workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer. If the vehicle must be
moved out of the flow of traffic, disengage
the clutch on vehicles with 5-speed
Easytronic. Disengaging the clutch is not
possible on vehicles with 6-speed
Easytronic 3. The vehicle must be moved.
Raise the vehicle by the front axle when
towing.
To disengage the clutch (only on vehicles
with 5-speed Easytronic):
1. Apply hand brake and switch off
ignition.
2. Open bonnet and engage support.
3. Clean Easytronic around the cap (see
figure) so that no dirt can get into the
opening when the cap is removed.
4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove by
lifting upwards – see figure.
5. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise using
a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools 3
– page 256) until clear resistance can be
felt. The clutch has now been
disengaged.
Do not turn beyond the resistance, since
this can damage the Easytronic.
6. Fit cleaned cap again. The cap must be
in full contact with the housing.
Towing the vehicle and starting the engine
is not permitted when the clutch has been
released in this way, although the vehicle
can be moved a short distance.
Consult a workshop immediately. We
recommend your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
