HOW TO OPERATE
63
j
Catalytic Converter (California model
only)
This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
in the exhaust system.
Platinum and rhodium in
the converter react with carbon monoxide, hydrocar-
bons and nitrogen oxides to convert them into car-
bon dioxide, water, nitrogen and oxygen resulting in
much cleaner exhaust gases to be discharged into
the atmosphere.
For proper operation of the catalytic converter, the
following cautions must be observed.
WARNING
The muffler and exhaust pipe are very hot
while the engine is running and just after the
engine stop.
This can ignite a fire, result-
ing in property damage or severe personal
injury.
Do not idle or park your vehicle in an area
where flammable materials such as grasses
or dry leaves may contact with muffler or ex-
haust pipe.
•
Use only unleaded gasoline.
Never use leaded
gasoline.
Leaded gasoline significantly reduces
the capability of the catalytic converter.
•
Do not coast the vehicle with the ignition switch
and/or engine stop switch off. Do not attempt to
start the engine by rolling the vehicle if the battery
is discharged.
Do not operate the vehicle with
the engine or any one cylinder misfiring.
Under
these conditions unburned air/fuel mixture flowing
out of engine excessively accelerates reaction in
the converter allowing the converter to overheat
and become damaged when the engine is hot, or
reduces converter performance when the engine
is cold.
NOTICE
In order to protect the emission control parts,
do not turn off the ignition switch when the
vehicle is in motion.
