Catalytic converter
WARNING
D Avoid fire hazards. Do not drive or park the vehicle anywhere
near flammable materials (e.g. grass, paper, rags or leaves),
because the catalytic converter operates at very high tempera-
tures.
D Keep everyone and flammable materials away from the
exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very
hot.
HB3003BA
The catalytic converter is installed in the exhaust system. It serves as a
catalyst to reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust gases, thus providing
cleaner exhaust.
To avoid damage to the catalytic converter:
D Use only unleaded fuel. Even a small amount of leaded fuel will dam-
age the catalytic converter.
D Never start the engine by pushing or pulling the vehicle.
D Avoid racing the engine.
D Never turn off the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving.
D Keep your engine tuned-up. If you feel the engine running rough (mis-
firing, backfiring or incomplete combustion), have your vehicle checked
and repaired by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
D Do not apply undercoating or rust prevention treatment to the heat
