Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

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. 
Diesel particle filter 3

The diesel particle filter system includes a 

self-cleaning function in specific intervals. 

The filter is cleaned through the 

combustion of soot particles. Some noise 

and smoke is normal during this procedure.
The heated rear window 3 is automatically 

deactivated during self-cleaning 3.

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 a Service. For this reason you 

should have all maintenance work carried 

out at the intervals specified in your Service 

Booklet.

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.
