Emissions control
systems
Catalytic con verter
Applies to: vehicles with gasoline engines
T he vehicle may only be driven with un leaded
gasoline, otherwise the catalytic converter will be
destroyed.
Never drive until the tank is compl ete ly empty .
The irregu lar supply of fuel that resu lts from that
can cause eng ine misfires. Uncombusted fuel will
enter the exhaust system, which can cause over
heating and damage to the catalytic converter .
Diesel particulate filt er
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engines
The diese l particu late filter filters near ly all of
the soot particles out of the exhaust. The filter
cleans itself automatically under norma l driving
condit ions. If the filter cannot clean itself (for ex
ample, because you are only driving short distan
ces), the filter becomes clogged with soot and
