The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gas.
WWaarrnniinngg
Do not keep the engine running in
closed areas for longer than
necessary to manoeuvre,
because the carbon monoxide
(CO), which has no colour or
odour, is lethal if inhaled.
In the event of faults or irregular
engine functioning following a cold
start, a significant loss of engine
power or other anomalies, this may
indicate an ignition system fault. The
vehicle needs to be towed. Seek the
assistance of Chevrolet dealers.

In case unburned fuel is entering the
catalytic converter, this component
can be overheated and irreparably
damaged. Therefore, the following
have to be avoided:
■ Insisting on the starting procedure
when the engine presents
difficulties to begin functioning.
■ Unnecessarily
long time during
starting.
The water penetration by exhaust
pipe can damage the catalytic
converter because it works at a high
temperature level
.
Avoid the application of any product
in the vehicle underbody. Some
chemical produc
ts increase the risk of
fire.
An unpleasant and innocuous odour,
proceeding from
exhaust gases,
caused by fuel with high sulphur
content at determinate driveability
conditions shoul
d be perceived.
To ensure a low level of pollutant
emissions and the longevity of the
catalytic converter system, all
maintenance services must be
carried out in Chevrolet dealers.
