Servicing Your Windstar Emission Control System Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter which enables your vehicle to comply with applicable exhaust emission requirements. To make sure that the catalytic converter and the other emission control parts continue to work properly: s Use only unleaded fuel. s Avoid running out of fuel. s Never turn off the ignition while your vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds. s Have the services listed in your Maintenance Schedule and Record booklet performed according to the specified schedule. RWARNING Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire. RWARNING Do not remove the floor carpet in your vehicle. Emission controls cause high exhaust temperatures under the floor. 359
