Catalytic converter
The vehicle must only be used with unleaded petrol, otherwise the catalytic converter will be irreparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry, as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfiring. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust system, which can cause overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.
WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehicle is being driven and after the engine has been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot – risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can occur in the emission control system (catalytic converter), do not park the vehicle where the exhaust can come into contact with flammable materials under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest edge) - fire hazard!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the area around the exhaust system - risk of fire!
