Catalytic Converter Cautions
● Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical,
fuel or ignition systems, may cause unusually high converter temperature. Do not continue to operate
your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating
conditions, such as engine overheating or backfires. A properly tuned engine will help avoid
malfunctions that could damage the catalytic converter.
● Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine or the vehicle may be illegal
and can cause catalyst or exhaust system overheating. This includes:
Altering fuel injection settings or components. Adjusting ignition timing beyond specified limits.
Altering emission system components or location or removing components.
Repeated use of leaded fuel.
