engine will help avoid malfunction that could damage the three-way catalytic converter.
Remember that tampering or unauthorized modification to the engine or the vehicle may be illegal
and can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection settings or components. Adjusting distributor ignition timing beyond specified
limits.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
Do not park your car over combustible materials, such as grass or leaves, which can come into contact
with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite under certain wind and weather
conditions.
Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), with an intermittently firing or flooded engine,
can cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for cars with three-way catalytic converters. A label on the instrument
panel and inside fuel tank filler door will remind owners and filling station attendants of this
requirement.
Important! It is unlawful to dispense leaded fuel into any vehicle labeled "unleaded gasoline only".

WARNING!
If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in either section of the reservoir: DO NOT DRIVE. Tow the
car to a Volvo retailer and have the brake system checked and repaired.
