Catalytic Converter - PERODUA Kancil Owner's Manual

Catalytic converter

The catalytic converter is an emission con­
trol device installed in the exhaust system to
reduce pollutants in exhaust gas.
WARNING
The exhaust system becomes hot and
hot exhaust gas is emitted while the
engine is running. Do not drive or park
your vehicle over anything combusti­
ble, such as grass, leaves, paper or
rags.
Also keep people or combustible ob­
ject away from the exhaust system.
CAUTION
A large amount of unburnt · g as introduce
into the catalytic converter may overheat
the converter, which may cause fire.
To prevent this and other damages, ob­
serve the followings;
• Do not drive with an extremely low
fuel level.
• Do not run the engine at fast idle
speed for more than 10 minutes or
at idle speed for more than 20 min­
utes.
• Do not push- or pull-start your vehi­
cle.
• Do not turn off the engine while the
vehicle is moving.
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Use only unleaded fuel.
Follow the periodic inspections specified in
the Perodua maintenance schedule to en­
sure that the engine itself, catalytic con­
verter, and entire emission control system
are operating properly.
If the engine hardly starts, stall frequently,
or pings or knocks during acceleration,
have your vehicle checked as soon as pos­
sible by a Perodua dealer.
