your vehicle to comply with
applicable exhaust emission
requirements. For more
information on your vehicle’s
emission control system, see the
Vehicle Emission Control
Information decal located on the
left side of the engine
compartment.
Follow these guidelines to ensure
proper emission system operation:
• Use only unleaded fuel.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
• Do not turn off the ignition
while your vehicle is in motion.
• Have the services performed
according to the intervals in the
Service Guide.
When servicing your vehicle, never
use a metal exhaust collector. A
metal collector may melt or deform
plastic parts.
Do not park, idle, or drive
your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust
system, which can start a fire.
On vehicles without
original equipment floor
covering or insulation, do not let
passengers ride in your truck in
a manner that allows contact
between skin and the metal floor.
