Operation Manual

210 Catalytic converter, exhaust gases
Control indicator A for engine
electronics
Illuminates for a few seconds after the
ignition is switched on.
If it illuminates when the engine is running,
there is a fault in engine or transmission
electronics. The electronic system switches
to an emergency running programme. Fuel
consumption may be increased and the
driveability of the vehicle may be impaired.
In some cases, the fault can be remedied
by switching the engine off and on again. If
the control indicator illuminates again
when the engine is running, consult a
workshop to have the cause of the fault
remedied. We recommend your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
If it illuminates briefly, but does not recur, it
is of no significance.
Illumination of A could indicate the
presence of water in the diesel fuel filter 3 .
A text message will appear in the service
display at the same time, – page 44. Have
the fuel filter checked for moisture. We
recommend that you consult your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
If it flashes after the ignition is switched on,
there is a fault in the immobiliser system.
The engine cannot be started – page 67.
Exhaust gases
During the first drive smoke may develop
because of wax and oil evaporating on the
exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the
open for a while after the first drive and
avoid inhaling the fumes.
9 Warning
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide, which is colourless and
odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle
interior, open the windows and consult a
workshop immediately. We recommend
your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Avoid driving with an open luggage
compartment. Otherwise, exhaust gases
could penetrate the interior.
