If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this, follow the instructions below:
- Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
- When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.
- Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low; otherwise, the engine may misfire causing damage to the catalyst.

Do not place the vehicle on inflammable material. Keep inflammable material off the exhaust pipe and three way catalyst.
