Vehicle care and maintenance

7 Catalytic converter
N00937400405
The catalytic converter requires you to use unleaded fuel only.
Leaded gasoline will destroy the emission-control effective-
ness of the converter.
Normally, the catalytic converter does not require maintenance.
However, it is important to keep the engine properly tuned for
the converter to continue to work properly. To reduce the possibility of catalytic converter damage:


Use UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY of the type of rec-
ommended in “Fuel selection”.


Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level. Running
out of gas could damage the catalytic converter.


Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the
vehicle. If the battery is weak or run down, use jumper
cables to properly start the engine.


Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires discon-
nected or removed, such as when performing diagnostic
tests.


Do not idle the engine for a long time if it is idling
roughly or otherwise obviously malfunctioning.


To prevent the catalytic converter from being damaged
from unburned gas, do not race the engine when turning
off the ignition switch.


Stop driving the vehicle if you think the performance is
noticeably low, or the engine has a malfunction. If you are
not able to stop driving immediately, slow down and drive
for only a short time. Have an inspection made by an
authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice as soon as possible.


In unusual situations involving major engine problems, a
burning odor may indicate severe and abnormal catalytic
converter overheating. If this occurs, stop in a safe place,
shut the engine off and let the vehicle cool. Once the
engine is cool, immediately take your vehicle to an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of your
choice for service.
CAUTION
!

Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your
vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. If
the engine malfunctions or misfires, or if your vehi-
cle performance suffers, have it serviced promptly.
Running your vehicle when it is overheated may
result in damage to the converter and vehicle.WA R N I N G
!

Do not park or run your vehicle in areas where com-
bustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can
come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could
occur.


Do not put undercoat paint on the catalytic con-
verter.
