!!
An improperly adjust headlamp may blind
oncoming rider/driver or it may fail to light the
road for a safe distance.
(1) Catalytic converter
This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter (1) in the muffler to meet the
emission norms.
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The catalytic converter contains precious
metals that serve as catalysts, promoting
chemical reactions to convert the exhaust
gasses without affecting the metals. The
catalytic converter acts on HC, CO and NOx.
•
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.
•
Keep the engine tuned up.
Follow these guidelines to protect your
vehicle’s catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter must operate at a high
temperature for the chemical reactions to take
place. It can set on fire any combustible
material that come near it. Park your vehicle
away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other
flammable material.
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.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
The evaporative emission control system is
used to prevent petrol vapours from escaping
into the atmosphere from fuel tank.
