The catalytic converter is installed in the
exhaust system. It serves as catalyst to
reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust
gases, thus providing cleaner exhaust.
To avoid damage to the catalytic conver-
ter:
.
Use only unleaded gasoline. Even a
small amount of leaded gasoline will
damage the catalytic converter.
.
Never start the engine by pushing or
pulling the vehicle.
.
Avoid racing the engine.
.
Never turn off the ignition switch while
the vehicle is moving.
.
Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel
the engine running rough (misfiring, back-
firing or incomplete combustion), have
your vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized SUBARU dealer.
.
Do not apply undercoating or rust
prevention treatment to the heat shield of
catalytic converter and the exhaust sys-
tem.
Periodic inspections
To keep your vehicle in the best condition
at all times, always have the recom-
mended maintenance services listed in
the maintenance schedule in the
“
War-
ranty and Maintenance Booklet
”
per-
formed at the specified time or mileage
intervals.
