Catalytic converter, exhaust em issions 133
If the underbody or rear of vehicle is
damaged or corroded, you notice a
change in the sound of the exhaust system,
or wh e ne ve r yo u sus pect exh aus t gas es are
penetrating the vehicle interior, consult a
workshop immediately.
When the vehicle is driven for the first time,
wax and oil on the exhaust system may
evaporate, producing smoke-like emissions
which should not be inhaled. Allow wax
and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in
the open air. Avoid inhaling.
Maintenance
Have all maintenance work carried out at
the intervals specified by Vauxhall. We
recommend that you entrust this work to
your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who
has proper equipment and trained
personnel available. Electronic testing
systems permit rapid diagnosis and
remedy of faults. This way you can be
certain that all components of the vehicle’s
electrical, injection and ignition systems
operate correctly, that your vehicle has a
low level of pollutant emission and tha t the
catalytic converter system will have a long
service life.
You are thereby making an important
contribution towards keeping the air clean
and compliance with emissions legislation.
Checking and adjustment of the fuel-
injection and ignition systems is part of the
scope of a Service. For this reason you
should have a ll maintenance work carried
out at the intervals specified in your
Service Booklet.
