Driving Tips8
NOTEDue to the expansion and contraction
of the metals used in the manufacture
of the exhaust system, you may hear a
crackling sound coming from the
exhaust system for a short time after
the engine has been shut off. This
sound is normal.
8-4. Catalytic ConverterThe catalytic converter is installed in the
exhaust system. It serves as catalyst to
reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust
gases, thus providing cleaner exhaust. To avoid damage to the catalytic
converter:

Use only unleaded gasoline. Even a
small amount of leaded gasoline will
damage the catalytic converter.
 Never start the engine by pushing or
pulling the vehicle.
 Avoid racing the engine.
 Never turn off the ig nition switch while
the vehicle is moving.
 Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel
the engine running rough (misfiring, back-
firing or incomplete combustion), have
your vehicle checked and repaired by an
authorized SUBARU dealer.
 Do not apply undercoating or rust
prevention treatment to the heat shield of
catalytic converter and the exhaust
system.
 Do not drive with an extremely low fuel
level.
 If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open.Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Avoid fire hazards. Do not drive
or park the vehicle anywhere near
flammable materi als (e.g. grass,
paper, rags or leaves), because
the catalytic converter operates
at very high temperatures. Keep everyone and flammable
materials away from the exhaust
pipe while the engine is running.
The exhaust gas is very hot.
