Exhaust gases
Do not run engine in enclosed spaces, e.g.
in a garag e, or sit in a parked vehicle for an
extended period with the engine running.
Do not drive with tailgate open. If driving
with the tailgate open is necessary, set fan
to highest spee d, close wind ows and
ensure air recirculation mode is off, to allow
entry of outside air.
If the underbody or rear of vehicle is
damaged or corroded, you notice a
change in the sound of the exhaust system,
or whe ne ve r you su spect exh au st gas es are
penetrating the vehicle interior, consult a
workshop immediately.
When the vehicle is driven for the first time,
wax and oil on the exhaust system may
evaporate, producing smoke-like emissions
which should not be inhaled. Allow wax
and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in
the open air.
Di esel pa rticle filt er (DPF) 3
The diesel particle filter removes polluting
soot particles out of the exhaust.
The system contains a self-cleaning
function at certain intervals. The filter is
cleaned by burning the soot pa rticles at
high temperature. This procedure runs
automatically under certain vehicle
conditions and can take up to 15 minutes,
during which time fuel consumption may
increase. The smell and the noise that
occur are normal.
The system cannot automatically clean
itself under certain vehicle conditions, such
as driving short distances.
If control indicator I illuminates, you
should continue driving , a nd as soon as the
road and traffic situation permits it,
increase speed to more than 30 mph
(50 km/h) a nd die sel particle filter cleaning
will start.
Cleaning is quicker at faster speeds and
under load. The engine sp eed should not
drop below 2000 rpm . The control indicator
extinguishes as soon as cleaning is
complete.
We recommend that you do not turn the
ignition off during cleaning.
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 of
systems permits rapid diagnosis and
remedy of faults. This way, you ca n be
certain that all components of the vehicle’s
electrical, injection and ignition systems
operate correctly, that your vehicle ha s 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 the
Service Booklet.
9 Wa rning
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide , wh ich h as no colour or
odour and can be lethal if inhaled.
If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle
interior, open the windows and consult a
workshop immediately.
