Catalytic converter for petrol
engines
Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic
converter and parts of the electronic
system, rendering them inoperative.
High quality fuels other than those listed on
pages 204, 314 (e. g. LRP
1)
) could damage
the catalytic converter.
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 quickly
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
system. If necessary, driving may be
continued for a short time at a low speed
and with a low engine speed.
Irregular engine running and a loss of
engine power when the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP ®
Plus
3) comes
into action are the result of operating
conditions and are therefore of no
significance - page 212.
