Three − way catalytic converter
The three − way catalytic converter is the
emission control devices installed in
the exhaust system.
Its purpose is to reduce pollutants in the
exhaust gas.
CAUTION
!
Keep people and combustible mate-
rials away from the exhaust pipe
while the engine is running. The
exhaust gas is very hot.
!
Do not idle or park your vehicle
over anything that might burn easi-
ly such as grass, leaves, paper or
rags.
NOTICE
A large amount of unburned gases
flowing into the three
− way catalytic
converter may cause it to overheat
and create a fire hazard. To prevent
this and other damage, observe the
following precautions:
!
Use only unleaded gasoline.
!
Do not drive with an extremely low
fuel level; running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, creat-
ing an excessive load on the three −
way catalytic converter.
!
Do not allow the engine to run at
idle speed for more than 20 min-
utes.
!
Avoid racing the engine.
!
Do not push − start or pull − start your
vehicle.
!
Do not turn off the ignition while
the vehicle is moving.
!
Keep your engine in good running
order. Malfunctions in the engine
electrical system, electric ignition
system or fuel system could cause
an extremely high three − way cata-
lytic converter temperature.
!
If the engine becomes difficult to
start or stalls frequently, take your
vehicle in for a check
− up as soon
as possible. Remember, your Toyota
dealer knows your vehicle and its
three
− way catalytic converter sys-
tem best.
