Catalytic Converter - Daewoo Espero Owner's Manual

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic con-
verter and parts of the electronic system,
thereby rendering them inoperative.
The fuel tank filler neck is of a narrow
design so that a dispensing
leaded fuel cannot be inserted.
Damage to the catalytic converter or the
vehicle may result if the following points
are not observed:
• Consult a Daewoo Outlet or Daewoo
Authorised Service Operation
quickly as possible in the event of
misfiring, irregular engine running fol-
lowing a cold start, a significant loss of
engine power or other unusual mal-
functions which may indicate a fault in
the ignition system. If necessary, driv-
ing may be continued for a short time
at a low speed and with low engine
revolutions.
•
If unburnt fuel enters the catalytic con-
verter, combustion may occur there, re-
sulting in overheating and irreparable
damage to the catalytic converter.
You should therefore avoid:
• Frequent repeated cold starts.
• Actuation of the starter for an unneces-
sarily long time during starting (fuel is
injected during the starting procedure).
• Allowing the tank to become empty (an
irregular fuel supply leads to overheat-
ing).

towing (unburnt fuel may enter the
catalytic converter): use jump leads.
Have all maintenance work carried out by a
Daewoo Outlet or Daewoo Authorised
Service Operation at the intervals speci-
as
fied by Daewoo. You can then be certain
that all components of the vehicle's elec-
trical, injection and ignition systems will be
operating correctly, that your vehicle has
a low level of pollutant emission and that
the catalytic converter system will have a
long life.

ENGINE CONTROL INDICATOR
(SERVICE ENGINE
LIGHT)
The engine control indicator light comes
on when the ignition is switched on and
remains illuminated during starting.
The light goes out shortly after the engine
starts to run.
Fuel injection, ignition, idling and overrun
fuel cut-off are controlled electronically.
If the indicator light comes on with the
engine running, a fault has occurred. The
electronic system switches to an emer-
gency running programme so that driving
may be continued. Consult a Daewoo
Outlet or Daewoo Authorised
Operation to remedy the fault.
Do not drive for a lengthy period with the
engine control indicator light illuminated,
as this may damage the catalytic conver-
ter, increase fuel consumption and impair
the vehicle's driveability.
If the engine control indicator light comes
on briefly and then goes out again this is
normal and does not indicate a system
fault.
