Keep the engine tuned up.
Follow these guidelines to protect your
vehicle’s catalytic converter.
•
Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small
amount of leaded petrol can contaminate
the catalyst metals, making the catalytic
converter ineffective.
A defective catalytic converter contributes to
air pollution and can impair your engine’s
performance.
(1) Catalytic converters
The canister (1) collects the fuel vapour from
the fuel tank and then the fuel vapour is drawn
into the engine for re-burning to avoid
pollution caused by the fuel vapour diffused
into the air.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an evaporative
emission control system to meet emission
standards. During warm weather, the petrol
vapours which contain HC evaporates easily
into the atmosphere from the fuel tank, if the
fuel system is unsealed or open.
The evaporative emission control system is
used to prevent petrol vapours from escaping
into the atmosphere from fuel tank.
After washing your vehicle, wax all painted
surfaces (except matte painted surfaces) using
a commercially available polish/quality liquid
or paste wax to finish the job. Use only a non
abrasive polish or wax made specifically for
automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the container.
POLISHING OF VEHICLE
NOTE
Polishing or waxing is not applicable for
models having matte paint.
