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, avoid
high speeds and seek immediate assistance
from your Land Rover retailer.
•
CAUTION: 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.
•
•
NEVER allow the vehicle to run out of fuel
(the resultant misfire could damage the
catalyst).
Engines burning excessive oil (e.g. 1 quart
every 750 miles) will progressively reduce
catalyst efficiency. In extreme cases, blue
smoke may be emitted from the exhaust.
Fuel
ONLY use fuel recommended for your
vehicle,see ‘ENGINES’, page 241.
•
On rough terrain, do not allow the underside
of the vehicle to be subjected to heavy
impacts which could damage the catalytic
converter.
Misfire
A misfire can cause an engine to run rough or
skip for more than just a few seconds. If a
misfire is suspected, there is a risk of catalyst
damage; consult a Land Rover retailer for
assistance.
•
•
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) - 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.
•
Do not attempt to push or tow-start the
vehicle.
