OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
FOR CATALYTIC CONVER-
TERS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions
must be observed:
• Use only UNLEADED FUEL.
• Do not park the vehicle over or near
flammable objects, such as dry grass,
paper, leaves, etc. Under certain
conditions, they could be ignited by a
hot exhaust system.
• Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
• Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the ignition off and descending steep
grades in gear with the ignition off.
• Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
• Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician.
Failure to observe the above
precautions could result in damage to
the catalytic converter and to your
vehicle and could void your warranties.
