WARNING
The engine exhau󰀬 from this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
EVAP Sy󰀬em (Evaporative Emission Control Sy󰀬em)
(If equipped)
When required by environmental emissions regulations, this vehicle is manufactured with a fuel evaporation
sy󰀬em (EVAP) to prevent fuel vapors entering the atmosphere from the fuel tank and fuel sy󰀬em.
During routine maintenance, visually inspect all hose connections for leaks or blockage. Ensure the hoses
are not clogged or kinked, which could damage the fuel pump or di󰀬ort the fuel tank. No other maintenance
is necessary.
Contact your dealer if repair is required. Do not modify the EVAP sy󰀬em. Modifying any part of this sy󰀬em
will violate environmental emissions regulations.
Catalytic Converter
CAUTION: Please pay attention to the following to protect your catalytic converter:
• Use only unleaded gasoline. Even gasoline that contains a little lead could damage the reactive
metals contained in the catalytic converter and disable it.
• Never add ru󰀬 preventive oil or engine oil into the mu󰀪er. Doing so could damage the catalytic
converter.
NOTE
Some features described within this manual may not apply to models sold in North America.
All descriptions and directions given are from the operator’s perspective when properly seated.
