'N'8 INTRODUCTION — PRECAUTION
PRECAUTION
FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION: If large amounts of unburned gasoline flow into the converter, it may overheat and create
a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
1. Use only unleaded gasoline.
2. Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
3. Avoid spark jump test.
(a) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(b) While testing, never race the engine.
4. Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
5. Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
6. Avoid coasting with ignition turned off and prolonged braking.
7. Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two—way radios and cellular tele-
phones, observe the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's
electronics systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on the
applicable component.
(3) Do not wind the antenna feeder together with the other wiring. As much as possible, also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(4) Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.
