Customer Safety Information

Do NOT - park the vehicle over any object or material that could ignite (i.e. dry leaves, cardboard, puddles of oil, or other combustibles).

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

Do NOT - run the engine in a confined area, or breathe concentrated exhaust gases.

^ Exhaust gas contains toxic carbon monoxide.
^ Breathing exhaust gases may cause loss of consciousness or death.

Repair - any leaks in the exhaust system as soon as possible.

^ Hot gases escaping from the leak can ignite flammable materials, including vehicle components.
^ Exhaust gas may enter the passenger compartment causing throat, sinus, or eye irritation, light headedness, headaches, and increased irritability, especially while driving with windows closed.

Be Alert - for fuel odors and excessive tailpipe emissions.

^ These indicate a problem that should be corrected as soon as possible. Excessive emissions can ruin oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, and other expensive emission components.
