î
parts using a cloth or sponge dampened
with a solution of mild detergent and water.
Rub the soiled area gently rinsing it
frequently with fresh water.
After cleaning spray water thoroughly.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the muffler. The catalytic
converter contains noble metals that serve as
catalyst, promoting chemical reactions to
convert CO and HC in the exhaust to CO and
H O (water vapour).
2
A defective catalytic converter contributes to
air pollution and can impair your engine's
performance.
Follow these guidelines to protect your
vehicle's catalytic converter.
Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small
î
amount of leaded petrol can contaminate
the catalyst metals, making the catalytic
converter ineffective.
Keep the engine tuned up.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with an evaporative
emission control system to meet emission
standards. During warm weather, the petrol
vapours which contain HC evaporates easily
into the atmosphere from the fuel tank, if the
fuel system is unsealed or open. The
evaporative emission control system is used to
prevent petrol vapours from escaping into the
atmosphere from fuel tank. The canister (1)
collects the fuel vapour from the fuel tank and
then the fuel vapour is drawn into the engine
for re-burning to avoid pollution caused by
the fuel vapour diffused into the air.
