Models with petrol engines
Do not use leaded gasoline in a vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter, as the lead will coat the precious metals in the catalytic grid, reducing their conversion efficiency and eventually damaging the catalytic converter.
Always keep the ignition and fuel system in perfect order.
If misfiring is observed while the engine is running, do not operate the vehicle until the problem is corrected.
Do not start the engine by towing.
Do not turn off the ignition at high engine speeds.
Do not drive the vehicle if a trail of blue smoke is visible from the exhaust pipe.
A catalyst used on a well-adjusted vehicle should last between 100 and 150,000 km of the vehicle.
All models
Do not use fuel and engine oil additives, as additives may contain substances that can damage the catalyst.
After stopping the engine, the exhaust system continues to emit a significant amount of heat for a long time, so you should avoid parking the car on grass and dry leaves.
Remember that the catalytic converter is fragile, so avoid hitting when removing the catalytic converter or exhaust system.
