TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION

To
assure
efficient
operation
of
the
Emis­
sion
Control
System:

•
Have
your
vehicle maintained pro­
perly and in accordance
with
the ser­
vice recommendations as described in
your
Maintenance booklet. Lack of
proper maintenance as
well
as im­
proper use of the vehicle
will
impair
the function of the emission control
system
and
could
lead
to
damage.

•
Do not alter or remove any compo­
nent of the Emission Control System

unless
approved
by
the
manufacturer.

•
Do not alter or remove any device,

such
as heat shields, switches, ignition
wires, valves, which are designed to protect
your
vehicle's emission control

system.

•
Do not continue to operate
your

vehicle if you detect engine misfire or
other
unusual
operating conditions. WARNING
Starting
Do
not leave engine idling unatten­

ded
after starting. If warning lights should come on to indicate improper

operation,
they would go unheeded. Extended idling also produces heat,
which could result in overheating
or other
damage
to
the
vehicle
or
other
property.

Parking
•
Do
not
park
or
operate
the
vehicle
in

areas
where the hot exhaust system
may
come in contact
with
dry grass,

brush,
fuel spill or other material,
which
can
cause
a
fire.
Undercoating

Do
not apply additional undercoating
or rustproofing on or
near
the
exhaust
manifold,
exhaust
pipes,
catalytic
con­

verter
or heat shields. During driving,
the substance used for undercoating
could
overheat
and
cause
a
fire.
