7–18 SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Catalytic converter can be dam-
aged. Do not use leaded fuel.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER*
Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic con-
verter and parts of the electronic system,
thereby rendering them inoperative.
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 follow-
ing points are not observed :
• Consult a Daewoo Dealer or Daewoo
Authorized Service Operation as quickly
as possible in the event of misfiring, ir-
regular engine running following a cold
start, a significant loss of engine power
or other unusual malfunctions which
may indicate a fault in the ignition sys-
tem.
If necessary, driving may be continued
for a short time at a low speed and with
low engine revolutions.
You should therefore avoid :
• Frequent repeated cold starts.
• Actuation of the starter for an unnec-
essarily long time during starting (fuel
is injected during the starting proce-
dure).
• Allowing the tank to become empty (an
irregular fuel supply leads to overheat-
ing).
• Starting the engine by pushing or tow-
ing (unburned fuel may enter the cata-
lytic converter) : use jump leads.
Have all maintenance work carried out by a
Daewoo Dealer or Daewoo Authorized Ser-
vice Operation. You can then be certain that
all components of the vehicle's electrical,
injection and ignition system will be operat-
ing correctly, that your vehicle has a low
level of pollutant emission and that the cata-
lytic converter system will have a long life.
