Catalytic Converter
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Driving
Catalytic Converter
The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic
converter, which converts poisonous exhaust
emissions from the engine into environmentally
less harmful gases.
If a misfire is suspected, the ‘Service Engine
Soon’ warning light is flashing or the vehicle
lacks power while driving, (provided the
engine has reached its normal operating
temperature) avoid high speeds and seek
immediate assistance from your Land Rover
retailer.
•
WARNING
Severe damage to the catalytic converter
could occur if the engine is stopped for any
length of time when being driven through
water whose level is above the exhaust
tailpipe.
•
•
NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel
(the resultant misfire could damage the
catalyst).
Consult your retailer if your vehicle is
burning excessive oil (blue smoke from the
exhaust), as this will progressively reduce
catalyst efficiency.
Catalytic converters can be easily damaged
through improper use, particularly if the
wrong fuel is used, or if an engine misfire
occurs. For this reason it is VERY IMPORTANT
that you heed the precautions which follow.
•
On rough terrain do not allow the underside
of the vehicle to be subjected to heavy
impacts which could damage the catalytic
converter.
Fuel
ONLY use fuel recommended for your vehicle,
see ‘V8 ENGINE’, page 273.
•
•
DO NOT overload or excessively ‘rev’ the
engine.
DO NOT switch off the engine when the
vehicle is in motion with a drive gear
selected.
Starting the engine
•
DO NOT continue to operate the starter after
a few failed attempts (unburnt fuel may be
drawn into the exhaust system, thereby
poisoning the catalyst), and do not attempt
to clear a misfire by pressing the accelerator
pedal - seek qualified assistance.
WARNING
Exhaust system temperatures can be
extremely high - DO NOT park on ground
where combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves could come into contact with
the exhaust system - in dry weather a fire
could result.
•
•
When starting a COLD engine, DO NOT drive
if a misfire is suspected and do not attempt
to clear a misfire by pressing the accelerator
-
seek qualified assistance.
Do not attempt to push or tow-start the
vehicle.
