Introduction of LPG / Safety Precautions
Introduction to LPG:
Auto LPG is a clean, high octane and
Eco-friendly fuel. It is basically a mixture
of Butane and Propane and is obtained
from Natural Gas by fractionation and
Crude Oil Refining. LPG is in gaseous
state at atmospheric pressure, but can be
liquidated when moderate pressure is
applied or when the temperature is
sufficiently reduced. LPG produces less
harmful exhaust gases as compared to
petrol & diesel.
Safety Precautions
Do‟s:
If any minor work or body repairs are
to be carried out, turn the Multivalve
knob to close position prior to
commencement of the repair work.
Get the LPG cylinder checked
periodically as per the maintenance
chart.
If the engine does not start in LPG
mode, switch over to petrol mode
and take your vehicle to a Chevrolet
authorized service outlet for
inspection.
It is always recommended to start the
vehicle in Petrol mode.
Ensure that conduit pipes are always
in good condition and secured firmly.
Replace in case damage is noticed
Don'ts:
Never fiddle with any of the
components in the LPG system.
The cylinder should not be repaired
under any circumstances. In case of
any problem, consult with a
Chevrolet authorized service outlet.
Do not adjust setting of LPG system.
Do not install domestic LPG or any
other gas cylinder in place of OE
fitted cylinder.
Do not carry inflammable material
near the LPG cylinder.
Do not try to fill more than 26.20 liters
of auto LPG.
Do not use domestic LPG or any
other gas in your vehicle.
CAUTION
Always keep approx. 10-15 liters petrol
in your petrol tank, as your vehicle will
always start in PETROL mode. This will
prevent gumming problem in your
vehicle fuel system (fuel line, fuel pump,
fuel injector etc.). It will also prevent rust
from forming inside the petrol tank.
CAUTION
After washing/cleaning please ensure that
the LPG tank compartment is completely dry,
before starting your vehicle.

Safety
In Case of Gas Leakage:
Do not panic.
The ECU automatically switches-off the LPG supply from
the tank.
As a safety precaution, close the manual shut - off valve
provided on the „Multifunction valve‟ located on the LPG
tank. Ensure that the tank cover is properly fitted.
Roll down all the windows and keep the doors fully open.
The ECU will automatically switch the fuel mode to Petrol.
The ECU will not allow you to switch to LPG mode until the
leakage is rectified.
Contact the nearest Chevrolet Authorized service station
and get car repaired.
Maintenance
Check pressure on the gauge every week. The needle should
remain in green zone. If it comes to red zone, please send the
unit for recharging. The Fire Extinguisher is to be refilled
every three years even if it is not used.
Fire Extinguisher:
One fire extinguisher is located below the front passenger seat.
Method of operation:
1. Check that the pressure gauge needle is in green zone.
2. Hold upright and pull the pin.
3. Press the lever.
4. Direct discharge at base of flame with rapid sweeping motion.
5. Recharge the fire extinguisher after use.

Brief Description of LPG System
The brief description of sequential
injection system is as under:
Sequential Injection System can assure
higher performances without
compromising the simplicity of the
installation.
From the functional & performance point
of view Sequent Injection System has the
following advantages:
Reduced power loss
No gas air mixer
Very small reducer
No backfire risk
Reduced pollution levels
Sequential Injection is obtained by using
an electronic injector in each cylinder. A
high precision of gas dosage is obtained
using this system.
Auto-Diagnosis on ECU inlet/outlet is
protected against short circuit.
Spark LPG Vehicle comes fitted with bi-
fuel option and can be driven on auto
LPG or Petrol. An auto LPG storage tank
has been installed in the trunk
compartment and can store up to a
maximum of 26.20 Liters of auto LPG.
An auto LPG manual shut off valve is
available on the multivalve in the LPG
cylinder, in case gas supply to the engine
needs to be cut off.
A selection switch is provided on the HLD
Switch. This switch helps in selecting the
fuel mode for the vehicle.
Fuel selection switch also indicates the
amount of LPG in the storage tank. A
separate indicator is also provided on the
tank itself. In case, the gas is completely
exhausted, the vehicle will switch over to
petrol mode automatically without
stopping. Fuel mode can be changed
without stopping the vehicle.

fuel selection switch glows red
indicating petrol mode.
Press and hold fuel selection switch
for 5 seconds until fuel mode LED
changes to green.
Now crank your engine by turning

will start in LPG mode.
LPG Mode
When the switch is in LPG mode the
top LED is RED and the level gauge
LED‟s glow indicating the level of LPG
in the tank. If this condition is not
present then press the switch.
As your vehicle always starts in petrol
mode the LED on top glows red. The
vehicle automatically changes over to
LPG from petrol after reaching the
following conditions:
1) In cold start, it waits for coolant
temperature reach 55˚C.
2) If coolant temperature is between
55˚C to 75˚C then it waits for
60secs.
3) If coolant temp is more then
75˚C it waits for 10sec.
Upon changing to LPG the LED on top
changes to GREEN indicating that your
vehicle is now running on LPG. Also
the solenoid fitted on the LPG tank
gets energized making a “TAK” sound.
This is a normal and acceptable
behavior.
