ENGINE EXHAUST

Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide, which
is colourless and odourless and could
be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior of
the vehicle, open the windows. Have
the cause of the fault rectified by a
CHEVROLET retailer.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.

Catalytic Converter

The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gas.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on
pages Fuel for petrol engines on page
99, could damage the catalytic
converter or electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the
starter, running the fuel tank dry and
starting the engine by pushing or
towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven engine
running, a reduction in engine
performance or other unusual prob-
lems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a CHEVROLET retailer as
soon as possible. In an emergency,
driving can be continued for a short
period, keeping vehicle speed and
engine speed low.
Driving and Operating

FUEL

Fuel For Petrol Engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with DIN EN 228.
Equivalent standardised fuels with an
ethanol content of max. 10% by volume
may be used.
Use fuel with the recommended octane
rating. See Engine data on page 146.
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating can reduce engine power and
torque and slightly increases fuel
consumption.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
