Catalytic Converter: Service Precautions




Precautions for Catalytic Converter

As this vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter, use only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.

- Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary to the shortest possible time without opening the throttle.
- Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest possible time.
- Avoid any situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty.)
