Catalytic converter for petrol
engines
Leaded fuel will da mage the cata lytic
converter and parts of the electronic
system, rend ering them inoperative.
Use of high-qua lity fuels other than those
specified on p age 142 (e.g. LR P
1)
) could
damage the catalytic converter.
On vehicles with a c atalytic converter, the
fuel ta nk filler nec k is of a narrow design so
that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel
cannot b e inserted.
Damage to the catalytic conv erter or the
vehicle m ay result if the following points
are not observed :
z Consult a workshop, such as your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quic kly
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
sy ste m. If ne ces s ary, d riv ing may be
continued for a short time at a low speed
and with a low engine speed.
Irregular engine running a nd a loss of
engin e powe r when the Traction Control
sy ste m 3 or the Electronic Stability
Program 3 come into action are
determined by the op erating conditions
and are therefore of no significance – see
pages 150, 151.
