Notice: The catalytic converters require the use of unleaded fuel only. Using leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converters and other emission system components.
The catalytic converter is an emission-control device. The catalytic converter is added to the gasoline engine exhaust system in order to reduce the following:
• | Hydrocarbons |
• | Carbon monoxide |
• | Nitrogen oxide pollutants from the exhaust gas |
The gasoline engines in these vehicles use either an oxidation catalytic converter that does not contain rhodium or a three-way catalytic converter that uses rhodium. The catalyst in the converter is not serviceable.
