•
A defective catalytic converter contributes to
air pollution and can impair your engine’s
performance.
•
Drain any excess aerosol rust inhibiting oil
from the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank with
fresh petrol.
•
The catalytic converter contains noble
metals that serve as catalyst, promoting
chemical reactions to convert CO and HC in
the exhaust to CO and H O (water
2 2
vapour).

(page 37). Test ride the vehicle at low
speeds in a safe riding area away from
