Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic 

converter and parts of the electronic 

system, rendering them inoperative.
Use of high-quality fuels other than those 

specified on page 121 (e.g. LRP

1)

) could 

damage the catalytic converter. 
On vehicles with a catalytic converter, the 

fuel tank filler neck is of a narrow design so 

that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel 

cannot be 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 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. 

z If unburnt fuel enters the catalytic 

converter, this may result in overheating 

and irreparable damage to the catalytic 

converter. 
You should therefore avoid 

unnecessarily long use of the starter 

when starting-off, running the tank dry 

(an irregular fuel supply will lead to 

overheating) and starting the engine by 

pushing or towing. 

z If the exhaust emission control 

indicator Z flashes, slow down until the 

flashing stops and the control indicator 

is steady. Contact a workshop 

immediately. We recommend your 

Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
