More than two minutes passes before placing
the ignition in the STOP position after having

YSTEM
Adequate maintenance of the engine exhaust
system represents the best protection against
leaks of carbon monoxide into the passenger
compartment.
If an unusual noise from the exhaust or the
presence of smoke in the passenger
compartment is identified, or if the underbody or
rear section of the vehicle have been damaged,
have the entire exhaust system and adjoining
bodywork areas checked at an authorized dealer
to identify any components which are broken,
damaged, worn or have moved from their correct
fitting position.
Open welding or loose connections may permit
exhaust gas to enter the passenger
compartment.
Have the exhaust system checked every time the
vehicle is raised. Replace the components where
necessary (for these operations, contact an
authorized dealer).
In normal operating conditions, the catalytic
converter does not require maintenance. To
ensure that it operates correctly, however, and
prevent it from getting damaged, it is extremely
important that the engine operates perfectly.
To minimize the risk of damaging the catalytic
converter, proceed as follows:

Do not stop the engine or deactivate the
ignition with gear engaged and vehicle in
motion.

Do not attempt to start the engine by bump
starting.

Do not persist in using the vehicle if idling is
very irregular or the operating conditions are
very notably irregular.
