WARNING!
•
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you
unconscious and can eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing
CO, refer to “Safety Tips/Exhaust
Gas” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further
information.
•
A hot exhaust system can start a
fire if you park over materials that
can burn. Such materials might be
grass or leaves coming into con-
tact with your exhaust system. Do
not park or operate your vehicle in
areas where your exhaust system
can contact anything that can
burn.
CAUTION!
•
The catalytic converter requires
the use of unleaded fuel only.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the
effectiveness of the catalyst as an
emissions control device and may
seriously reduce engine perfor-
mance and cause serious damage
to the engine.
•
Damage to the catalytic converter
can result if your vehicle is not
kept in proper operating condition.
In the event of engine malfunction,
particularly involving engine mis-
fire or other apparent loss of per-
formance, have your vehicle ser-
viced
promptly.
Continued
operation of your vehicle with a
severe malfunction could cause
the converter to overheat, result-
ing in possible damage to the con-
verter and vehicle.
Under normal operating conditions, the
catalytic converter will not require mainte-
nance. However, it is important to keep the
engine properly tuned to assure proper
catalyst operation and prevent possible
catalyst damage.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
