Exhaust Gases; Maintenance - Vauxhall Corsa Owner's Manual

If it lights briefly, but does not recur, it is of
no significance.
If it flashes when the ignition is on there is
a fault in the immobiliser system –
see page 45.

Exhaust gases

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
that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
When the vehicle is driven for the first time,
wax and oil on the exhaust system may
evaporate, producing smoke-like
emissions. Allow wax and oil to evaporate
while the vehicle is in open air. Avoid
inhaling.

Maintenance

Have all maintenance work carried out at
the intervals specified by Vauxhall. We
recommend that you entrust this work to a
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.
