Vauxhall Grandland, Owner'S Manual

Page: 137 / 269

Driving and operating 135
combustion engine, this is a normal
process. The engine oil evaporates
from the fuel while the engine is
operating.
To prevent dilution, the following
actions are recommended:
● Charge the high voltage battery
as often as possible via an
external power source.
● Prefer driving in electric mode.
● Make a trip in hybrid mode for
more than 45 minutes once each
month. Alternatively, make trip in
sport mode for at least 30
minutes once each month.
If a message is displayed indicating
that the electric mode is not available
and automatic operation is in
progress, it is recommended to do the
following: Drive at least 60 miles on a
motorway or 90 minutes continously.
Non-hybrid vehicles
For non-hybrid vehicles, the following
drive modes are selectable:
● Normal
● Sport
● Eco
● Snow
● Mud
● Sand
Each drive mode corresponds to a
different vehicle setting.
To select the respective drive mode,
use the drive mode selector. The
selected drive mode is indicated in
the Driver Information Centre and in
the Info Display.
Caution
The vehicle is designed to drive
principally on-road, but it also
enables driving off-road
occasionally.
However, do not drive on terrain
where the vehicle could be
damaged due to obstacles, such
as stones among others and on
terrain with steep inclines and
poor grip.
Do not cross waters.
Caution
When driving off-road, sudden
motion and manoeuvres can
cause a collision or losing control.
Normal
This mode is calibrated for a low level
of wheel spin, based on the different
types of grip generally encountered in
normal day to day driving.
Everytime the ignition is switched off,
the system is automatically reset to
this mode.
