PRECAUTION
1. 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 haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a)
Use only unleaded gasoline
(b)
Avoid prolonged idling
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c)
Avoid spark jump test
(1)
Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2)
While testing, never race the engine.
(d)
Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e)
Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty

Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil
2. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two--way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.

Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle’s electronic
system.
(2)
Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle’s electronics systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3)
Do not wind the antenna feeder together with the other wiring. As much as possible, also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
