A three way catalytic converter is installed in the exhaust system to
help clean-up the harmful exhaust gases that can cause air pollution.
To be effective, the three way catalytic converter must work at
high temperature, so don't park your car over dry grass, leaves or
anything else that could burn easily.
To stay effective, the three way catalytic converter must not be
contaminated by leaded gasoline; use only unleaded gasoline as
explained on page
92
.
CAUTION:
The three way catalytic converter can be overheated and
damaged if it's fed too much unburned fuel mixture from the
engine, so:
— Don't push or tow the car to start it; if the battery is dead, jump
start the car as shown on page
154
.
— Don't turn the key off while the engine is running above idle
speed.
— Don't change the ignition timing, or remove any emission control
parts.
— Use only the spark plugs specified in this manual.
— Don't keep driving your car if it isn't running properly, or if its
CHARGING system light comes on; have it checked by your
Honda dealer.
