Emission Control System - Ford 1996 Crown Victoria 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.
Do not push start your vehicle.
Have the services listed in the Maintenance
Schedule and Record booklet performed
according to the specified schedule. The
scheduled maintenance services are required
because they are considered essential to the
life and performance of your vehicle and to
its emissions system.
