vice as soon as possible. Failure to maintain the
emissions system could void the warranty.
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
If the vehicle is continually driven when the MIL is
activated, the emission controls may not function,
the vehicle fuel economy may deteriorate, and the
engine may not run smoothly. This could lead to
costly repairs that may not be covered by the en-
gine warranty.
NOTE: Modifications made to the engine, transmis-
sion, exhaust, intake, fuel system of the vehicle, or
replacing the original tires with tires that do not
meet the same tire performance criteria may affect
the vehicle’s emission controls and can cause the
MIL to activate. Modifications to these systems
could lead to costly repairs not covered by the en-
gine or vehicle warranty. This could also result in a
failure to pass required emission inspection and/or
maintenance tests.
A
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP indicates that a
malfunction has been detected in the vehicle emis-
sion system. The vehicle can continue to be driven
normally. Diagnosis and service may be required to
correct the malfunction. The vehicle should be tak-
en to an OEM authorized service facility for service
as soon as possible. Failure to maintain the emis-
sions system could void the warranty.
STOP ENGINE LAMP
The STOP ENGINE LAMP indicates that a severe fault
condition exists and the engine should be shut down
as soon as it is safe to do so. Damage to the engine
and/or catalytic converter may already be occurring
or have occurred when this lamp illuminates. When
the STOP ENGINE LAMP illuminates the engine will
go in to reduced power mode. If the engine is shut
down while the vehicle is in service, a single restart
attempt may be performed. Depending on the na-
ture of the fault condition, a cool-down period may
be required before restarting. If, upon restarting,
the fault condition still exists the lamp will come on
and the engine should be shut down. At this point
the vehicle is unsafe to drive and should be trans-
ported to an OEM authorized service facility.
FUEL
IMPORTANT: Using the recommended fuel (pro-
pane) is an important part of the proper mainte-
nance of this vehicle.
This engine is powered by clean burning Liquefied
Petroleum Gas (LPG), commonly referred to as pro-
pane or autogas. Propane is recognized worldwide
for its contribution to lower emissions, cleaner air,
energy independence and lower operating costs.
It is recommended to use HD5 grade propane. HD5
is Heavy Duty Engine grade propane with a minimum
of 90% propane and a maximum of 5% propylene.
This grade of propane is 100 plus octane and will
provide proper performance and emissions control,
which the fuel system is designed to deliver.
The fuel should be free of contamination including
but not limited to rust, dirt, sand water, salt and
brine. Damage to components resulting from gross
contamination is NOT covered under warranty.
L
PG is colorless, odorless and is stored as a liquid in
the fuel tank. A distinctive odorant is added to LPG
for safety. The odor smells similar to sulfur or rotten
eggs.
ENGINE EXHAUST
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO)
which cannot be seen or smelled. Exposure to CO
can cause unconsciousness or loss of life.
E
ngine
exhaust may enter the vehicle if:
• The vehicle idles in areas with poor ventila-
tion (parking garages, tunnels, deep snow
that may block underbody airflow or tail
pipes);
• The exhaust smells or sounds strange or dif-
ferent;
• The exhaust system leaks due to corrosion
or damage;
• The vehicle exhaust system has been modi-
fied, damaged, or improperly repaired;
• There are holes or openings in the vehicle
b
ody from damage or aftermarket modifica-
tions that are not completely sealed.
If unusual fumes are detected or if it is suspected
that exhaust is coming into the vehicle:
