STARTING & DRIVING
Catalytic Converter and Particulate
Filter
The temperatures of exhaust systems that
contain
particulate filters and catalytic
converters can be extremely high, DO NOT
park on ground where combustible materials
such as dry grass or leaves could come into
contact with the exhaust system - in dry
weather a fire could result.
B
A
The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic converter
and particulate filter (model dependant), these process
possible harmful exhaust emissions from the engine into
more environmentally friendly gases.
Exhaust system
layouts differ between engine derivatives. The 1.5L exhaust
features (A). The 1.0T exhaust features (B).
Catalytic converters and particulate filters are easily
damaged through improper use, especially if the wrong
fuel or oil to the incorrect specification is used.
Fuel
• Use only fuel recommended for your car.
• Never allow the car to run out of fuel – this could
cause serious damage to the catalytic converter and
particulate filter.
Engine Oils
• It is recommended that only oils that meet the
manufacturers specification are used. Use of oils that
do not meet the manufacturers specifications can
damage the particulate filter, for example low SAPS oils
can affect particulate filter ash capacity.
