8-4 Driving tips
reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust
gases, thus providing cleaner exhaust.
To avoid damage to the catalytic conver-
ter:
. For petrol engine models, use only
unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of
leaded fuel will damage the cata lytic
converter.
. For diesel engine models, use only
diesel fuel with a specification of EN590 or
an equivalent.
. Never start the engine by pushing or
pulling the vehicle.
. Avoid racing the engine.
. Never turn off the ignition switch while
the vehicle is moving.
. Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel
the engine running rough (misfiring, back-
firing or incomplete combustion), we re-
commend that you have your vehicle
checked and repaired by an authorized
SUBARU dealer.
. Do not apply undercoating or rust
prevention treatment to the heat shield of
catalytic converter and the exhaust sys-
tem.
. Do not drive with an extremely low fuel
level.
WARNING
. Avoid fire hazards. Do not drive
or park the vehicle anywhere
near flammabl e materials (e.g.
grass, paper, rags or leaves),
because the catalytic converter
operates at very high tempera-
tures.
. Keep everyone and flammable
materials away from the exhaust
pipe while the engine is running.
The exhaust gas is very hot.
Diesel particulate filter (die-
sel engine models)
1) Catalytic converter
2) Diesel particulate filter
The diesel particulate filter is a device that
eliminates particulate matter in the ex-
haust gas of a diesel engine.
In most cases, the accumulated soot is
automatically burned in the filter while
driving. However, accumulated soot in the
filter is not burned if you drive the vehicle
under the following conditions.
. when the vehicle is continuously driven
at 15 km/h (9 mph) or less
. when the vehicle is driven without
sufficient preheating or the vehi cle is
repeatedly driven for only a short period
