152 Starting and driving NOTICE If the car runs out of gas, air may be drawn in with the fuel, which, in turn, can cause the catalytic converter to be damaged by overheating. • Never park the car on dry grass or other combustible material. The catalytic converter gets very hot and could therefore start a fire. • Never drive off if the engine is misfiring. • If you bump start the car when the engine is already at normal working temperature, the engine must start to run on all cylinders. Abort bump starting if the engine fails to start immediately. Failure to strictly follow these instructions can result in damage to the catalytic converter and associated components, and could represent a breach of the warranty conditions. WARNING If the engine is being run with the car on a rolling road or dynamometer, to ensure adequate cooling, air must be blown into the engine compartment and under the car at a rate equivalent to the ram-air effect that would obtain at the corresponding road speed.
