Catalytic converter for spark ignition engines
Warning! Leaded gasoline damages the catalytic converter and electrical components, causing them to lose functionality.
By making the filler neck of the fuel tank of vehicles with a catalytic converter narrower, the fuel dispenser nozzle is prevented from entering with leaded gasoline.
Warning! Failure to follow the instructions below may result in damage to the catalytic converter or vehicle:
- if there are interruptions in ignition or engine operation after starting it in a cold state, if there is a clear reduction in engine power or if there are other malfunctions indicating a malfunction in the ignition system, you should immediately contact an authorized Opel workshop. If necessary, briefly continue driving at low speed and at low engine speed;
- if unburned fuel gets into the catalyst, it may overheat and damage the catalyst.
Therefore, avoid:
- frequent consecutive cold engine starts;
- too long starter engagement during starting (during start-up, fuel injection occurs);
- using up the fuel supply in the tank to the end (uneven fuel supply leads to overheating);
- starting the engine by pushing or towing (unburned fuel can get into the catalytic converter);
- A jumper cable should be used to connect the starter to the auxiliary battery.
Catalytic converter for diesel engines
Warning! Failure to follow the instructions below may result in damage to the diesel catalytic converter or the vehicle itself:
- if the engine starts to run irregularly, if there is a clear reduction in engine power or if there are other malfunctions, you should immediately contact an authorized Opel workshop;
- if necessary, continue driving briefly at low speed and low engine speed.

Maintenance
All maintenance work must be carried out in an authorised Opel workshop in accordance with the intervals specified by the company. Then you can be sure that all electrical components, the injection and ignition systems are working optimally, that low emissions are maintained and that the longevity of the catalytic system is ensured.
