CAUTION
NOTICE
A large amount of unburned gases
flowing into the three-way catalytic
converter may cause it to overheat
and create a fire hazard. To prevent
this and other damage, observe the
following precautions:
A Use only unleaded gasoline.
A Do not drive with an extremely
low fuel level; running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
creating an excessive load on the
three-way catalytic converter.
A Do not allow the engine to run at
idle speed for more than 20 min-
utes.
A Avoid racing the engine.
A Do not push-start or pull-start
your vehicle.
