Cat alytic converter
The vehicle may only be driven w ith unleaded
gaso line , otherwise the catalytic converte r will be
dest royed .
Never dr ive until the tank is completely empty.
The irregular supply of fuel that results from that can cause engine misfires. Uncombusted fuel will
enter the exhaust system, which can cause over­
heating and damage to the catalytic converter .

h igh, both when driving and a fter stopp ing
the engine.
-
- Never tou ch the exhaust tail pipes once they
have become hot. This cou ld resu lt in burns.

materials s uch as grass or leaves because
the high temperature of the emissions con­
trol system could start a fire .
- Do not apply unde rbody protectant in the
exhaust system area, beca use this increases
the risk of fire.
