Catalytic Converter
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Exhaust temperatures 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.
The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic converter, which
converts poisonous exhaust emissions from the engine into
environmentally less harmful gases.
Catalytic converters are easily damaged through improper
use, particularly if the wrong fuel is used, so be sure to take
notice of the following precautions to minimise the chance of
accidental damage.
Fuel
•
Use ONLY fuel recommended for your car.
•
Never allow the car to run out of fuel - this could cause a
misfire which could damage the catalyst.
Starting
•
Do not continue to operate the starter after a few failed
attempts, seek qualified assistance.
•
Do not operate the starter if an engine misfire is suspected
and do not attempt to clear a misfire by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
•
Do not attempt to push or tow start the car.
