NOTE:

Intentional tampering with emissions control

systems can result in civil penalties being assessed

against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly malfunctioning

engine operation, a scorching odor may suggest severe

and abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs, stop

the vehicle, turn off the engine and allow it to cool.

Service, including a tune-up to manufacturer’s specifica-

tions, should be obtained immediately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam-

age:
• Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition,

when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in

motion.

• Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the

vehicle.

• Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires

disconnected or removed, such as when diagnostic

testing, or for prolonged periods during very rough

idle or malfunctioning operating conditions.

NOTE:

Your vehicles exhaust system may be equipped

with an Electronic Exhaust Valve (EEV) system, if the

exhaust system is replaced with aftermarket products a

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may be illuminated.
