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 that 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 inspection. For this reason you
should have all maintenance work carried
out at the intervals specified in your Service
Booklet.
