Operating precautions for catalytic
converters
WARNING
The exhaust system and catalytic
system are very hot while the engine is
running or immediately after the engine
is turned off. To avoid SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
[ Do not park, idle, or drive the vehicle
over or near flammable objects, such
as grass, vegetation, paper, leaves,
etc. A hot exhaust system can ignite
flammable items under your vehicle.
[ Keep away from the exhaust system
and catalytic converter or you may
get burned.
Also, do not remove the heat sink
around the exhaust system, do not
seal the bottom of the vehicle, and
do not coat the vehicle for corrosion
control. It may present a fire risk
under certain conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter emission control device.
To prevent damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle, take the
following precautions:
[ Use only UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.
[ Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
[ Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting with
the engine off and descending steep
grades in gear with the engine off.
[ Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods
(5 minutes or more).
[ Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission
control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by an
authorized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
[ Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level.
Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
catalytic converter.
