Leaded fuel will da mage the cata lytic

conv erter and parts of the electronic

system, rend ering them inoperative.

Use of high-qua lity fuels other than those

specified on p age 146 (e.g. LRP

1)

) could

damage the catalytic converter.

On vehicles with a catalytic converter, the

fuel ta nk filler neck is of a narrow design so

that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel

cannot b e 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 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 fa ult 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 com e into action are

determined by the op erating conditions

and are therefore of no significance – see

pages 152, 154.

z If unburnt fuel enters the c atalytic

converter, this may result in overheating

and irreparable damage to the c atalytic

converter.

You should therefore avoid

unnecessarily long use of the starter

when starting off, running the tank dry

(an irregular fuel supply w ill lead to

overheating) and starting the engine by

pushing or towing.
