Catalytic Converter
The exhaust system is equipped with the
catalytic converter, which can transfer
CO(Carbonic Oxide), HC(Hydrocarbon
compounds), NOx and other noxious gas
from the automobile exhaust into the harm-
less carbon dioxide, water and nitrogen by
oxidation and reduction.
Improper use can do damage to the cata-
lytic converter, so you should pay special
attention to the following requirements to
reduce the possibility of damage.
The exhaust temperature is very
high, please don't park on the site
with the hay, leaves or other combustible
materials contacting the vehicle exhaust
system, for those materials may cause fires
in dry climates.
For the engine missing of ignition,
lower power, joggling or other faults
will cause the serious damage to the cata-
lytic converter.
Please go to the Geely Service Sta-
tion for maintenance according to the
provisions in "Care and Maintenance Man-
ual".
