Emission Control System - Ford 1996 Aerostar Manual

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:
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.
On vehicles without original equipment
floor covering or insulation, do not let
passengers ride in your truck in a manner
that allows contact between skin and the
metal floor.
Watch for fluid leaks, strange odors, smoke, loss
of oil pressure, the charge warning light, the
check engine light, or the temperature warning
light. These sometimes indicate that the emission
system is not working properly.
