Emission Control System - Ford 1996 Aspire Manual

Emission Control System

Your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter which enables your vehicle to comply
with applicable exhaust emission requirements.
Exhaust leaks may result in the entry of
harmful and potentially lethal fumes into
the passenger compartment. Under
extreme conditions excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the fuel
system, the interior floor covering, or
other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.
To make sure that the catalytic converter and the
other emission control parts continue to work
properly:
Use only unleaded fuel.
Avoid running out of fuel.
Do not turn off the ignition while your
vehicle is moving, especially at high speeds.
Have the services listed in your Maintenance
Schedule and Record booklet performed
according to the specified schedule.
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.
