Catalytic converter
It is very important that your emission control
system (catalytic converter) is functioning prop-
erly to ensure that your vehicle is running in on
environmentally sound manner.
.. Always use lead-free gasoline Q page 233, Gas-
oline grade .
.. Never run the tank down all the way to empty.
.. Never put too much motor oil in your engine
Q page 242, Adding engine oil "t::r..
.. Never try to push- or tow-start your vehicle.
The catalytic converter is an efficient "clean-up"
device built into the exhaust system of the vehi-
cle. The catalytic converter burns many of the
pollutants in the exhaust gas before they are re-
leased into the atmosphere .
Checking and Filling
The exclusive use of unleaded fuel is critically im-
portant for the life of the catalytic converter and
proper funct ion ing of the eng ine.
A WARNING
- -
The temperature of the exhaust system is
high, both when driving and after stopping
the eng ine.
- Never touch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot . This could result in burns.
- Do not park or operate the vehicle in areas
where the hot exhaust system may come in
contact with dry grass, brush, fuel spill or
other material which can cause a fire .
- Do not apply additional undercoating or
rustproofing on or near the exhaust mani-
fold, exhaust pipes, catalytic converter or
heat shields. During driving, the substance
used for undercoat ing could overheat and
cause a fire.
CD Note
- Be aware that just one tank filling with
leaded fuel will already seriously degrade
the performance of the catalyti c converter .
- Do not exceed the correct engine oil level
Qpage242 .
- Do not drive until the fuel tank becomes
completely empty. The engine could mis-
fire. Unburned fuel could also get into the
exhaust system and this could cause the
catalytic converter to overheat.
- Do not switch off the ignition wh ile the vehi -
cle is moving.
- Do not continue to operate your vehicle un-
der these conditions, as otherwise fuel can
reach the catalytic converter. This could re-
sult in overheating of the converter, requir-
ing its replacement .
- To assure efficient operation of the Emis-
sion Control System:
- Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the serv ice recommen-
dations in your Warranty & Maintenance
booklet.
- Lack of proper maintenance as well as im-
proper use of the vehicle will impair the
