NOTE:

Intentional tampering with emissions control

systems can result in civil penalties being assessed
against you.

WARNING!

A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over
materials that can burn. Such materials might be
grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex-
haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in
areas where your exhaust system can contact any-
thing that can burn.

In unusual situations involving grossly malfunctioning
engine operation, a scorching odor may indicate severe
and abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs, the
vehicle should be stopped, the engine shut off and the
vehicle allowed to cool. Thereafter, service, including a
tune-up to manufacturer’s specifications, should be ob-
tained immediately.

To minimize the possibility of catalyst damage:

• 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 engine by pushing or towing the

vehicle.
