Opel FRONTERA 2024 - E-Auto Mode

Special aspects of automatic mode
These functions respond to common
driving situations where the electric
engine is available to provide additional
power or zero-emission driving.
Caution
These functions are only available
if the traction battery is sufficiently
charged.These five functions cannot be
deactivated.
e-Launch
With the petrol engine off, this function
allows the vehicle to run in electric mode
without affecting performance.
By depressing the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle starts to drive as soon as the
mode D or R of the automatic gearbox
is selected.
e-Creeping
With the petrol engine off, by releasing
the brake pedal, this function allows
the vehicle to be moved forward or
backward in electric mode without having
to depress the accelerator pedal, as soon
as the mode D or R of the automatic
gearbox is selected.
e-Queueing
This function makes it possible to follow
a queue of vehicles with several stops
followed by restarts of the vehicle, using
the e-Creeping, e-Launch and electric
driving modes.
e-Parking
This function allows parking manoeuvres
to be carried out at reduced speed with
the help of the electric engine when the
mode D or R of the automatic gearbox is
selected.
e-Boost
This function allows simultaneous
operation of the petrol engine and
the electric engine, combined with the
automatic gearbox.
By fully depressing the accelerator pedal
("kick-down" function), when the traction
battery is fully charged, it is possible to
exceed the torque of the petrol engine
alone, thanks to the additional torque
provided by the electric engine.
Caution
Repeated use of the brake pedal
causes the restart of petrol engine to
provide braking assistance.
Special aspects of manual mode
The gearbox only changes from one
gear to another if the vehicle speed and
engine speed conditions permit.
The petrol engine can also be switched
off in manual mode when stopped in
traffic or when the accelerator pedal is
released.
The all-electric potential of the driving
mode used (Normal or Eco) is also
retained.
e-Auto mode
The petrol engine stops when low power
or torque is required and in stabilised
conditions. The petrol engine is restarted
by the belt starter.
The e-Auto mode can switch off the
petrol engine in the following cases:
● When the operating strategies permit.
●
Vehicle speed up to 145 km/h.
●
When the driver releases the
accelerator pedal in stabilised
conditions or in deceleration.
●
During the stop phases.
Restarting is only achieved by the
belt starter until the torque demand
