194 Catalytic converter, exhaust gases
z If unburned fuel enters the catalytic
converter, this may result in overheating
and irreparable damage to the catalytic
converter.
You should therefore avoid
unnecessarily long use of the starter
when starting off, running the tank dry
(an irregular fuel supply will lead to
overheating) and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
z If the emission control indicator Z
flashes, slow down until the flashing
stops and the control indicator is steady.
Consult a workshop immediately. We
recommend your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer. For emission control indicator
Z – see page 195.
Catalytic converter for diesel
engines
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 irregular
engine running, a significant loss of
engine power or other unusual
malfunctions. 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.
