Catalytic Converter

Exhaust temperatures can be extremely high,
DO NOT park on ground where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves could
come into contact with the exhaust system

engine into environmentally less harmful gases. Catalytic
converters are easily damaged through improper use,
