Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system to
reduce pollutants in exhaust gas.
CAUTIOR
A large amount of unburned gas introduced
into the catalytic converter may overheat
the converter, which may cause a fire.
To prevent this and other damages,
observe the followings;
• Do not drive with an extremely low fuel
level.
• Do not run the engine at fast idle speed
for more than 10 minutes or at idle speed
for more than 20 minutes.
• Do not turn off the engine while the
vehicle is moving.
• In your attempt to start the engine, never
push or pull the vehicle.
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Use only unleaded fuel.
Follow the periodic inspections specified in
the Perodua maintenance schedule to ensure
that the engine itself, catalytic converter and
entire emission control system are operating
properly.
If the engine hardly starts, stalls frequently,
or pings or knocks during acceleration, have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible
by an authorized Perodua Service Centre.

• The exhaust system becomes hot
and hot exhaust gas is emitted while
the engine is running.
• Be sure to keep the rear end of
your vehicle at least 30 cm away
from combustibles such as wood
or plywood when parking. Less
space may cause discoloration or
deformation of the combustibles
or even fire by the exhaust gas.
• Do not drive or park your vehicle
over anything combustible, such
as grass, leaves, paper, or rags etc.
• Also, keep people or combustible
objects away from the exhaust
system.
