Catalytic converter for petrol
engines
Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic
converter and parts of the electronic
system, rendering them inoperative.
Use of high-quality fuels other than those
specified on page 190 (e.g. LRP
1)
) could
damage the catalytic converter.
On vehicles with a catalytic converter, the
fuel tank filler neck is of a narrow design so
that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel
cannot be inserted.
Damage to the catalytic converter or the
vehicle may result if the following points
are not observed:
z Consult a workshop, such as your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly
as possible in the event of misfiring,
irregular engine running following a cold
start, a significant loss of engine power
or other unusual malfunctions which
may indicate a fault in the ignition
system. If necessary, driving may be
continued for a short time at a low speed
and with a low engine speed.
Irregular engine running and a loss of
engine power when the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP®
Plus
3 ) comes
into action are the result of operating
conditions and are therefore of no
significance - see page 198.
