Vauxhall 2012 Corsa, Owner'S Manual

Page: 16 / 64

Corsa’s range of ecoFLEX engines have been
designed to save you money whilst not
compromising performance and driveability. The benefit of improved fuel economy
speaks for itself but lower CO
2
emissions also mean Vehicle Excise Duty (VED)
savings and lower company car taxation too. Take a look at the table below for all
the information.
Shift-up indicator. Standard on all models in the New
Corsa line-up. The shift-up indicator light on the rev
counter illuminates, alerting the driver to the optimum
time a gear change is required. A valuable aid designed
to further enhance fuel efficiency.
Petrol engines. New Corsa models are available with three, Euro 5 compliant petrol
engines – the 1.0i 12v ecoFLEX, the 1.2i 16v VVT and a 1.4i 16v VVT – combining power
and fuel efficiency with low CO
2
emissions.
ecoFLEX turbo diesels. New Corsa’s Euro 5 diesel engine range – a powerful 130PS
1.7CDTi 16v and a choice of efficient 1.3CDTi 16v units (75PS and 95PS) – combine
performance, refinement and efficiency, offering superb environmental credentials.
In addition, all New Corsa diesel models qualify for zero VED* in the first year.
Start/Stop technology. The New Corsa ecoFLEX
Start/Stop models – available on the 1.3 diesel and now
joined by a 1.2i 16v petrol variant – switch the engine off
when you stop at the lights or in traffic, then restart it
automatically once the clutch is depressed, saving fuel
and reducing emissions even further. The AUTOSTOP
symbol housed within the rev counter indicates that the
engine has stopped.
The system can be deactivated manually by simply pressing the ECO button on the facia.
As the chart below shows, the New Corsa 1.3CDTi 16v (75PS) Start/Stop model cuts
CO
2
emissions considerably and improves fuel economy by as much as 4.9% over the
non-Start/Stop version. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) Start/Stop engine reinforces Vauxhall’s
eco commitment even further, increasing fuel economy over the non-Start/Stop 75PS
models by an incredible 19.9% (3-door). In addition, all three Start/Stop engines cut
CO
2
by so much that they qualify for zero Vehicle Excise Duty* (VED) in the first year
and the 95PS diesel version for the life of the vehicle*.
Transmissions. The 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) SE and SXi plus 1.7CDTi 16v SE and SRi diesel
models come with a six-speed manual gearbox. The rest of the range comes with a
five-speed manual as standard, with sophisticated four-speed automatic (1.4i 16v) and
five-speed Easytronic (1.2i 16v) transmission models also available.
