Catalytic Converter
This vehicle is equipped with a three-way
catalytic converter. The catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve as catalysts in
high temperature chemical reactions that
convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide
(CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gases into safe compounds.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to air
pollution and can impair your engine's
performance. A replacement unit must be an
original Honda part or equivalent.
Follow these guidelines to protect your vehicle's
catalytic converter.
●
Always use unleaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline will damage the catalytic converter.
●
Keep the engine in good running condition. A
poorly running engine can cause the catalytic
converter to overheat, causing damage to the
converter or the vehicle.
●
If your engine is misfiring, backfiring, stalling,
or otherwise not running properly, stop riding
and turn off the engine. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible.
