PRECAUTION
moo*-01
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION: If large amounts of unburned gasoline flow into the converter, it may overheat and create
a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
2. Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
3. Avoid spark jump test.
(a) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(b) While testing, never race the engine.
4. Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
5. Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
6. Avoid coasting with ignition turned off and prolonged braking.
7. Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
FOR VEHICLES WITH AN AUDIO SYSTEM
WITH BUILT-IN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Audio System displaying the sign " ANTI — THEFT
SYSTEM" shown on the left has a b u i l t - i n a n t i - t h e f t
system which makes the audio system soundless if
stolen.
If the power source for the audio system is cut even
once, the anti —theft system operates so that even if
the power source is reconnected, the audio system
will not produce any sound unless the ID number
selected by the customer is input again. Accordingly,
when performing repairs on vehicles equipped with
this system, before disconnecting the battery termi-
nals or removing the audio system the customer
should be asked for the ID number so that the tech-
nician can input the ID number afterwards, or else a
request made to the customer to input the ID number.
For the method to input the ID number or cancel the
anti —theft system, refer to the Owner's Manual.
