If unburnt fuel enters the catalytic
converter, this may result in overheating

You should therefore avoid

an irregular fuel supply will lead to
overheating) and starting the engine
by pushing or towing.

Consult a workshop, such as your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly
as possible in the event of irregular

engine power or other unusual
malfunctions. 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

conditions and are therefore of no
significance – see page 208.
