Three-way catalytic converter Cautions
●
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical,
fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high converter temperatures. Do not continue
to operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating
conditions, such as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly-tuned engine will help in avoiding
malfunctions that could damage the three way catalytic converter.
CAUTION: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converter. A label on the
instrument panel inside the fuel filler door will remind owners and filling station attendants of this
requirement.
Important! It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into any vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only".
WARNING: Do not park your car over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come
into contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and
weather conditions.
●
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one continuous minute) with an intermittently firing or
flooded engine, can cause TWC converter or exhaust system overheating. This also applies to lengthy
pushing or towing of vehicle to start (manual transmissions only). Do not attempt to start a car with
automatic transmission by pushing or towing.
