CATALYTIC SILENCER

WARNING
Do not park the vehicle close to dried
brushwood or in places where children
are likely to come in contact with it,
because the catalytic muffler reaches
very high operating temperature. Pay
utmost attention and avoid any contact
until it has cooled down.
This vehicle fits a silencer with "platinum-
palladium-rhodium" three-way metal
catalytic converter.
This device provides for the oxidation of
the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC
(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the
exhaust gases, changing them into carbon
dioxide and steam, respectively.
