Chevrolet Captiva Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-MidEast LHD-
14860584) - 2021 - CRC - 5/18/20
Driving and Operating
125
When preparing to start, depress the brake
pedal and engage the required gear (D/R
gear), release the brake pedal and depress
the accelerator pedal. Then the EPB system
will automatically function and the vehicle
starts running smoothly. See
.
Caution
When stopping the vehicle on an uphill
grade, do not hold the vehicle by
pressing the accelerator pedal. The foot
brake should be used for this purpose.
Downhill Driving
If the brake pedal is pressed continuously
for a long time, it may cause the brake to
overheat, thus reducing or even failing the
braking effect.
When the vehicle drives downwards along a
long slope, push the gearshift to the right
from D gear to position (+/
–
) and move it
to position (
–
), then engage a low gear. In
this way, the braking function of engine can
be activated to reduce the vehicle speed,
thus reducing the brake load.
Protection Mode
Transmission Overheating Protection
If the vehicle starts frequently in a hot
temperature or when the transmission is
overloaded, the automatic transmission may
get very hot.
To avoid transmission damage, the system
will perform overheating protection function.
At this time, the vehicle power will be
limited. Smooth driving behavior is
recommended while violent driving should
be avoided.
If the warning message of the combination
instrument still does not change or
disappear after 20 minutes of operation
according to the above information, please
contact your dealer for maintenance as soon
as possible. Otherwise, the transmission will
be seriously damaged.
Limp Mode
When some faults occur in the transmission,
it will enter the lamping mode. At this time,
the transmission can only work at a specific
speed ratio. There will be a strong sense of
impact when gear shifting of the
transmission occurs. The fault warning lamp
of the transmission of the combination
instrument will be on.
If this happens to the transmission, please
contact the Aftersales Service Center for
repair as soon as possible.
Note
When the transmission failure indicator light
of the combination instrument flashes, it
indicates that the transmission oil
temperature is too high (over 140 °C) or too
low (lower than
−
30 °C). At this time,
smooth driving is recommended and rapid
acceleration should be avoided.
Note
When the transmission failure indicator light
of the combination instrument is on, it
indicates that there is some functional fault
in the transmission. See your dealer as soon
as possible.
Brakes
The brake system is designed for braking
performance under a wide range of driving
conditions.
In the braking process, the vehicle speed is
reduced through the braking friction and the
friction between tires and ground.
