Catalytic Converter
38
Driving
• Do not overload or excessively ’rev’ the engine.
• Do not switch off the engine when the car is in motion with a
drive gear selected.
• Consult your dealer if you think your car is burning too much oil,
as this will progressively reduce catalyst efficiency.
• If a misfire is suspected, or the car lacks power while driving,
provided the engine has reached its normal operating
temperature, it may be driven SLOWLY (at risk of catalyst
damage) to a Rover dealer for assistance.
• DO NOT run the engine with a spark plug or lead removed, or
use any device that requires an insert into a spark plug.
• Do not drive the car on terrain likely to subject the underside of
the car to heavy impacts.
IMPORTANT
Any engine misfire, loss of
engine performance or engine
run-on, could seriously
damage the catalytic
converter. For this reason, it
is vital that unqualified
persons do not tamper with
the engine, and that regular
maintenance is carried out by
a Rover dealer in accordance
with the service interval plan
in the Service Portfolio book.
