Customer Safety Information

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Do NOT park the vehicle over dry grass, leaves, cardboard, puddles of oil, or other combustibles.

The catalytic converter reaches temperatures of 1200° F (650° C) and remains hot for some time after engine shut off.

CARBON MONOXIDE

WARNING: Breathing exhaust gases may cause loss of consciousness or death.

Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), an odorless, toxic gas which displaces oxygen. Do not run the engine in confined areas or breathe concentrated exhaust gases.

EXHAUST SYSTEM LEAKS
Repair any exhaust system leaks as soon as possible. Exhaust gases can ignite flammable materials or possibly set the vehicle on fire.

Exhaust gas from leaks may enter the passenger compartment causing throat, sinus, and eye irritation, light headedness, headaches, and increased irritability.

FUEL ODORS/EXCESSIVE EMISSIONS
Report fuel odors or excessive tailpipe emissions (black smoke etc.) to dealer or repair facility as soon as possible. These indicate a condition that can ruin the oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, and/or other emission components, or lead to a vehicle fire.
