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
workshop.
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 gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on
pages Fuel (for Gasoline Engines), Engine
Data could damage the catalytic
converter or electronic components.

Caution (Continued)
Unburnt gasoline 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 problems, have the cause
of the fault rectified by a workshop as soon
as possible. In an emergency, driving can be
continued for a short period, keeping vehicle
speed and engine speed low.
