Advanced multi-outlet fuel injectors for direct combustion chamber fuel injection:
• Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber during the intake stroke, at
which time only air flows through the intake system and into the combustion chamber
when the intake valve opens.
• During compression stroke, the fuel and air mixture now in the combustion chamber
is ignited by the spark plug. As the fuel vaporizes in the cylinder, the air and fuel
mixture is cooled.
• This enables the use of a higher compression ratio in the combustion chamber,
which improves engine performance and efficiency.
• The special injectors that inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber are located
beneath the intake ports, which transfer only air. Because the ports are not used to
mix the fuel and air, efficiency of the air flow is increased.
• The accuracy in which the fuel can be injected through special direct injectors is
greater, resulting in better fuel consumption at all throttle openings and better mixture
control which allows higher compression.
• To overcome higher pressures inside the combustion chamber and to supply the
multiple injection points of the direct injection nozzles, an engine-driven high
pressure pump supplies fuel to the injectors.
• This high pressure pump feeds a high strength fuel rail that in turn feeds a
continuously variable pressure fuel rail attached to the injectors.
• The fuel pump pressures are controlled between 2 and 15MPa, based on operating
conditions. For example, at idle the fuel system is regulated to about 508 psi (35 bar)
and increases with demand.

The new 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine features advanced technologies that include:
The economical four-cylinder engine features numerous technological highlights that include:
The new upgraded engines are mated with a new, advanced six-speed automatic transmission -
Hydra-Matic 6T40 or 6T45 for diesel models.
Thanks to a wide overall ratio spread of 6.14:1, first gear is a very high ratio, which provides
brisk acceleration from a stop. Sixth gear, however, is an overdrive ratio, which keeps the
engine revolutions as low as possible for highway cruising, reducing engine friction losses and
improving fuel economy.
Sophisticated electronics help enable the precision needed to time the clutches for each shift.
The first-to-second gear shift uses a freewheeling mechanism, which tends to be smoother
during shifts between gears with large ratio differences, such as first and second gears.
The single-plate lockup clutch makes use of GM’s electronic controlled capacity clutch (ECCC)
technology to help dampen engine vibrations and ensure smooth operation.
Premium transmission fluid is validated to improve durability and shift stability over the life of the
transmission.
The new Captiva 5 comes standard with the F40 six-speed manual transmission.
All gears are synchronized, including reverse. Triple cone synchronizers are used for first and
second gears; double cone synchronizers for third and fourth gears; and single cone
synchronizers are used in fifth and sixth gears. A dual cone synchronizer is used for the reverse
gear. As a result, the F40 manual delivers smooth, quick gear engagement in virtually all shifting
scenarios regardless of speed or launch characteristics
Each synchronizer cone angle and lining material is optimized to ensure exceptional shifting
qualities and NVH characteristics.
“Monoblock” precision forged gears (first, second, third, fourth and reverse) ensure outstanding
durability, and contribute to exceptional NVH characteristics and smooth shift throws.
All-Wheel-Drive system
The AWD system provides instant traction as needed. As soon as the system identifies a
situation where driving four wheels would be better than two, it brings the rear wheels into play
via an electronically controlled clutch to ensure optimum traction.
During normal driving, propulsion forces are distributed between the front and rear wheels in a
ratio of 100:0 and the Captiva acts as a conventional front-wheel-drive vehicle with the clutch to
the rear axle opened.
But if the system identifies the need to intervene − when making a hill start, negotiating tight
curves or slippery surfaces, for example − it will redistribute torque between the front and rear
axles within 100 milliseconds. Any power ratios between 100:00 and 50:50 are possible.
Key elements of Captiva’s intelligent Torque Controlled Coupling all-wheel-drive system are the
two clutches − one an electromagnetic pilot clutch and the other a hydraulic multi-disc wet
clutch. They are electronically controlled and vary the distribution of propulsion force between
the front and rear axles.
Electronic Stability Control
The ESC helps prevent the vehicle form skidding during emergency manoeuvres by specifically
slowing down individual wheels. At the same time, with aid of numerous sensor data such as
the position of the accelerator petal, steering and yaw angle, it consistently compares the
driver’s actions with the actual driving situation. If it detects a critical deviation, the system
intervenes.
On steep gradients the system can be activated at the press of a button to automatically slow
the vehicle without the driver needing to apply hard brake pressure. It assists the driver to
concentrate primarily on steering.
Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle unintentionally rolling backwards or forwards down a slope.
Engaging automatically on gradients of 4% or more, it keeps the vehicle stationary after the
brake is released, giving the driver time to use the accelerator to pull away.
Level ride suspension is a safety and comfort feature that automatically adjusts the suspension
level to help maintain the vehicle’s nominal ride height when loaded.
On the rear wheels, conventional absorbers are replaced by a compact self levelling shock
absorber. All elements such as the oil reservoir, pressure accumulator, pump, height sensor,
control mechanism, and the damping unit of the self-pumping, hydropneumatic levelling system
are completely integrated into the damper.
When a load is placed in the rear of the vehicle, the suspension is lifted upward to its previous
unloaded level as the vehicle is driven. Depending on road conditions, the fully loaded vehicle
attains its nominal ride height after only a few hundred meters.
On top of new powertrain, Captiva Series II has new and upgraded safety and convenience
features such as standard side impact airbags, Bluetooth connectivity and an electric park brake.
All models of Captiva Series II offer an impressive level of standard features that include:
Off road
• The approach angle for Captiva 7 SX/CX/LX models is 24.4 degrees. For Captiva 5,
it is 24.2 degrees
• The departure angle for Captiva 7 SX/CX/LX models is 22.2 degrees. For Captiva 5,
it is 23.3 degrees
• The breakover angle for all models is 17.8 degrees
Servicing
Series II Captiva servicing is at 3000km (no cost inspection), 15,000km then every 15,000km or
12 months, whichever comes first.
