Catalytic converter

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 etc.
Also, keep people or combustible ob­
jects away from the exhaust system.
CAUTION
A large amount of unburned gas intro­
duced into the catalytic converter may
overheatthe 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 minutes.
• Do not turn off the engine while the
vehicle is moving.
• In your attempt to start the engine,
never push or pull the vehicle.
• 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, stalls frequently,
or pings or knocks during acceleration, have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible
by a Perodua dealer.

Part of common sense driving is learning

for different purposes may handle differ­
ently.
