Catalytic Converter - MG RX8 Manual

Catalytic Converter

Do not park on ground where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves could
come into contact with the exhaust system
- a fire could result.
The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic converter,
which converts poisonous exhaust emissions from the
Starting and Driving
engine into environmentally less harmful gases. The model
is equipped with the three-way catalytic converter as
illustrated: 2.0T three-way catalytic converter.
Catalytic converters are easily damaged through improper
use, please observe the following precautions to minimise
the chance of accidental damage.
Fuel
• Use ONLY fuel recommended for your car.
• Never allow the car to run out of fuel – this could
cause engine misfire and serious damage to the catalyst
system.
Starting
Pay attention to the followings when starting the engine:
• Do not continue to operate the starter after a few failed
attempts; seek an MG Authorised Repairer.
• Do not operate the starter if an engine misfire is
suspected and do not attempt to clear a misfire by
pressing the accelerator pedal.
• Do not attempt to push or tow start the car.
