CAUTION!
Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance:
• The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law.
Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance and damage the emission control
system.
• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the
catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light
smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate
service. Contact your authorized dealer for service assistance.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not
recommended.
Most of these products contain high concentrations of Methanol. Fuel system damage
or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels or additives
is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil
penalties being assessed against you.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly.
Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless
gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and
never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for an extended period of
time. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with the engine running for more
than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fresh, outside air into
the vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper maintenance. Have the exhaust system
inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repaired
promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open.
• Keep the liftgate closed when driving your vehicle to prevent carbon monoxide
and other poisonous exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
