Exhaust System

The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly main-
tained engine exhaust system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust
system; or if the exhaust fumes can be detected
inside the vehicle; or when the underside or rear of
the vehicle is damaged; have an authorized tech-
nician inspect the complete exhaust system and
adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, deterio-
rated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep

into the passenger compartment. In addition, have
the exhaust system inspected each time the ve-
hicle is raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace
as required.
WARNING!
• Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing CO, refer to
"Safety Tips/Exhaust Gas" in "Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle" for
further information.
• A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do
not park or operate your vehicle in areas
where your exhaust system can contact
anything that can burn.

CAUTION!
• The catalytic converter requires the use of
unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will
destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as
an emissions control device and may seri-
ously reduce engine performance and
cause serious damage to the engine.
• Damage to the catalytic converter can result
if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating
condition. In the event of engine malfunc-
tion, particularly involving engine misfire or
other apparent loss of performance, have
your vehicle serviced promptly. Continued
operation of your vehicle with a severe mal-
function could cause the converter to over-
heat, resulting in possible damage to the
converter and vehicle.
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic
converter will not require maintenance. How-
ever, it is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to assure proper catalyst operation and
prevent possible catalyst damage.
