Warning
4. Three-Way Catalytic Con-
verter
Three-way catalytic converter is an exhaust
pollution controlling device installed in the
exhaust system. It is designed to reduce the
exhaust pollution.
This vehicle is installed with dual three-way
catalytic converters and oxygen sensor to de-
crease harmful gas such as CH, CO, and NOx
in exhaust. Leaded-gasoline is forbidden, or
catalytic converter will be intoxicated and stop
functioning.
Oxygen sensor sends signals to ECU to ensure
that the fuel/air mixture in the best ratio is pro-
vided to the engine.
If you use fuels failing to meet the require-
ments in local standard DB11/238-2004 of
Beijing city, you will not be able to guaran-
tee the exhaust performance required by the
GB18352.3-2005 (light-weight automobile
pollutant emission limit and measuring meth-
ods (III, IV) ).

Keep exhaust pipe away from people
and flammable material. Exhaust is
very hot.

Do not race the engine or park the
vehicle in places full of flammable ma -
terial such as grass, leaves, paper, or
cloth.
Notice

If a large amount of unburned gas
flows into catalytic converter, the catalytic
converter may be overheated and catch
fire. To prevent this or other dangers,
please follow the precautions below.

Use unleaded gasoline only.

Do not drive vehicle when its fuel
level is extremely low. Engine stalls when
there is a short in fuel, and catalytic con-
verter will be overloaded.

Do not idle the engine for more than
20 minutes.

Do not overrun the engine.

Do not turn off ignition switch when
the vehicle is running.
