2. CAUTIONS
- Do not park the vehicle on flammable materials, such as grass, leaves and carpet.
- Do not touch the catalyst or the exhaust gas ignition system when the engine is running.
- If a misfire occurs in the combustion chamber or the emission of pollutant exceeds the
specified level, the catalyst can be damaged.
- When servicing or replacing components of the exhaust system, makes sure that the
components are positioned at regular intervals from all other parts of the under body.
- Be careful not to damage the exhaust system when lifting the vehicle from its side.
- All components and body parts of the engine exhaust system should be inspected for crack,
damage, air hole, part loss and incorrect mounting location. Also check for any deformation
which can result in exhaust gas drawn into the vehicle.
- Make sure that the exhaust pipe is cooled down sufficiently before working on it because it is
still hot right after the engine is stopped.
- Wear protective gloves when removing the exhaust pipe.
