Catalytic converter
The vehicle has a silencer with a " platinum - palladium - rhodium three-way " metal catalytic converter.
This device oxidises the CO (carbon monoxide) producing carbon dioxide, and the UHC (unburned hydrocarbons) producing
water vapour and reduces NOX (nitrogen oxide) producing oxygen and nitrogen present in the exhaust fumes.
•
Do not park the vehicle near dry brushwood on in places easily accessible by children because the catalytic
converter reaches elevated temperatures during vehicle operations.
Due to this reason, pay utmost attention and do not touch it until has completely cooled down.
•
Never use leaded fuel as this will contaminate the catalytic converter, rendering it inoperative.
Vehicle owners are warned that the law may prohibit the following:
•
The removal of any device or element belonging to a new vehicle or any other action by anyone leading to render it
non-operating, if not for maintenance, repair, or replacement reasons, to control noise emission before the sale or delivery of
the vehicle to the ultimate buyer or while it is used.
•
Using the vehicle after that device or element has been removed or rendered non-operating.
Check the exhaust system and the silencer pipes, make sure there are no signs of rust or holes and that the exhaust system
works properly.
•
If you note an increase in exhaust noise, contact a F.B Mondial Official Dealer to check and repair it.
NOTE
Do not tamper with the exhaust system.
