NOTICE
The Evora is fitted with ‘three way’ catalytic converters
in the exhaust system in order to reduce the noxious content of
the exhaust gases and comply with emission control regulations.
It is essential that ONLY UNLEADED FUEL is used (see ‘Fuel
Requirement’). The use of leaded fuel, or lead replacement
petrol (LRP), will cause irreversible contamination of the pre-
cious metal catalysts and of the exhaust gas sensor used by the
computer controlled engine management system.
It is important that the Maintenance Schedule (see separate
booklet) is followed at the specified time and distance intervals
(this is a requirement of the warranty), and that the car is kept in
proper operating condition. Failure to do so may result not only
in a loss of fuel economy and emission control, but may cause
damage to the catalytic converter.
WARNING
• Iftheenginemalfunctionsinanyway(e.g.indicatedbya
change in sound) have the fault diagnosed and repaired
promptly. Continuing to drive the car with an engine misfire
could cause the catalytic converter to overheat, with possible
heat damage to other car components, and an engine bay
fire. Operation of the ‘Malfunction Indicator Lamp’ (MIL) is
