Features of operation of vehicles equipped with catalytic converter

The components of the exhaust system can be heated to very high temperatures, - try not to touch the heated elements and not to put the car into the parking lot on the grounds covered with flammable objects (fallen leaves, dry grass, garbage, etc.)!

Do not use for refueling a vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter leaded petrol, - it contained a high concentration of lead is deposited on the surface of the transducer element in substantially reducing the efficiency of its operation and service life!

The catalytic converter is a high element of emission control and incorporated into the exhaust system. Inside the working member converter exhaust gas post-combustion occurs at high temperature to reduce the content of toxic constituents.

Follow the proper settings and adjustments of the engine. Deviations when setting the operating parameters of the ignition, fuel injection and engine management can lead to a dangerous pereobogaschenie air-fuel mixture, leading to overheating of the catalytic converter is unchanging. In the event of misfiring operation of a vehicle should be suspended until the correct the problem, because not warmed in the engine misfiring of the fuel enters the combustion chambers of the converter, which can easily catch fire (for the same reason, you should avoid the engine starts by towing or pushing). Do not forget to follow the fuel, preventing its full output, usually conjugated with the occurrence of misfires.
