PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
Do not park, idle or
drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.
WARNING:
The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter heats up to a very
high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and stays hot
after the engine is switched off.
To avoid damaging the catalytic converter:
•
Do not crank the engine for more than
10 seconds at a time.
•
Do not run the engine with a spark plug
lead disconnected.
•
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See

Use the correct fuel. See
•
Do not switch the ignition off when your
vehicle is moving.
•
Avoid running out of fuel.

Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.
Note:
Do not make any unauthorized
changes to your vehicle or engine. By law,
vehicle owners and anyone who
manufactures, repairs, or services a fleet of
vehicles are not permitted to intentionally
remove an emission control device or
prevent it from working.
