Catalytic converters

~1min read

This vehicle is equipped with catalytic converters in the exhaust system.

WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after operation. To prevent a fire hazard or burns:
  • Do not park the vehicle near possible fire hazards such as grass or other materials that easily burn.
  • Park the vehicle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch the hot exhaust system.
  • Make sure that the exhaust system has cooled down before doing any maintenance work.
  • Do not allow the engine to idle more than a few minutes. Long idling can cause a build-up of heat.
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause unrepairable damage to the catalytic converter.
