Catalytic Converter
37
The exhaust system on your car incorporates a catalytic converter
which converts poisonous exhaust emissions into environmentally
less harmful gases, thereby reducing pollution.
Catalytic converters are easily damaged through improper use, so
be sure to take notice of the following precautions to minimise the
chance of accidental damage.
Fuel
•
Only use 95 RON UNLEADED petrol to EN 228 specification.
Using leaded fuel will destroy the catalyst.
•
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.
WARNING!
Exhaust temperatures can
be extremely high, do not
park on ground where
combustible materials such
as dry grass or leaves could
come in contact with the
exhaust system - in dry
weather a fire could result.
