CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during use, and after you have switched
the engine off. This is a potential fire
hazard.

Note: Flex fuel vehicles can be fueled with
gasoline, ethanol or a mixture of both.
If you are refueling with a different fuel
than that used previously, we recommend
that you drive the vehicle immediately after
refueling for at least 10 minutes. This is
necessary because the engine control
module needs to adapt itself to the fuel
present in the tank. This procedure is
especially important when the fuel level
gauge indicates less than half before
refueling.
If your vehicle stopped due to lack of fuel
(empty tank) you should refuel preferably
with gasoline.
