Helpful Tips for the Corsa-e

How to start the vehicle?

All the Corsa-e’s are automatic and keyless, but you’ll still need to get the key out of the glovebox, and safely store it on the central partition. Ensure the car is in ‘P’ for park on the gearstick, put your foot on the foot brake and press the ‘START’ button to the left of the steering wheel. The dashboard will light up, and will show ‘READY’ in the bottom left corner.

Apply the brake pedal, press UNLOCK on the gear stick, then shift into gear. For reverse, please choose gear stick position with R.

The mirrors are adjusted using a joystick positioned above the window switches in the driver's door. The joystick can be twisted to adjust the left and right mirrors, then simply pushed to move the mirror in the corresponding direction.

How to use the headlights and turn signals?

Using the left lever, push up and down to activate the turn signals. The headlights are operated to the right of the steering wheel, twisting the dial to the right for the main headlights.

How do I release the boot?

How to use the windscreen wipers?
