Maintenance
•
•
Do not operate the engine in con-
fined or closed areas (such as
garages) any more than what is
necessary to move the vehicle in or
out of the area.
When the vehicle is stopped in an
open area, with the engine running,
for more than a short period of time,
adjust the ventilation system (as
needed) to draw the outside air into
the vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with a cat-
alytic converter emission control
device.
Therefore, you must observe the fol-
lowing precautions:
• Use only the UNLEADED FUEL for
gasoline engines.
•
Do not drive the vehicle when there
are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfiring or noticeable
under-performing.
•
•
Never sit inside a parked or stopped
vehicle for any extended period of
time, while the engine is running.
When the engine stalls or fails to
start, excessive attempts to restart
the engine may damage the emis-
sion control system.
•
Do not misuse or abuse the
engine. Examples of the engine
misusage
are
coasting
and
descending on a steep slope with
the ignition in the OFF position.
Do not idle the engine at a high
speed for an extended period of
time (5 minutes or more).
•
Operating precautions for cat-
alytic converters (if equipped)
• Do not modify any part of the
engine or the emission control sys-
tem. All inspections and adjust-
ments must be done by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
WARNING
-
•
Fire
• Avoid driving with a low level of
fuels. When your vehicle runs out
of gasoline, it may misfire the
engine or result in excessive load-
ing of the catalytic converter.
Failure to observe these precautions
may damage the catalytic converter
as well as your vehicle. Additionally,
such actions may void your war-
ranties.
A hot exhaust system can
ignite flammable items under
your vehicle. Do not park, idle,
or drive the vehicle over or
near flammable objects, such
as grass, vegetation, paper,
leaves, etc.
The exhaust system and cat-
alytic system are very hot
while the engine is running or
immediately after the engine
is turned off. Keep away from
the exhaust system and cat-
alytic; you may get burned.
•
Also, do not remove the heat
sink around the exhaust sys-
tem, do not seal the bottom of
the vehicle or do not coat the
vehicle for corrosion control.
It may present a fire risk under
certain conditions.
