Engine exhaust
Danger
Do not inhale effluent gases.
Carbon monoxide contained in effluent gases is a
type of colorless, odorless, and toxic gas. Inhalation
of carbon monoxide would lead to asphyxia or even
death.
Once you doubt that effluent gases might enter into
the automobile, please find out the causes, and
restore the automobile to its normal state
immediately.
If you have to drive the automobile in such a case,
open all windows completely.
To avoid accidents caused by effluent gases, please
observe the following precautions.
Maintenance
The engine exhaust system, body and ventilation
system must be maintained in their normal
operation condition. Verify that the exhaust system
is free of leaks and the joints are free of looseness.
If any of the following states occurs, it is advisable
to contact special service stores for overhaul of the
exhaust system and body.
●Every time oil is replaced;
●Every time you observe any change in exhaust
sound;
●Once the exhaust system is damaged or eroded;
●Every time your automobile crashes up against
any object.
Furthermore, the automobile must be subjected to
maintenance as per the maintenance plan described
in Section 13.
Ventilation system
To ensure that the ventilation system of your
automobile may operate normally, you have to
verify that the air intake duct before the windshield
is not covered by snow, leaves or other obstacles.
Routine operation
When the automobile is parked or stopped, do not
allow the engine to run for a long time.
Otherwise, carbon monoxide might enter into the
automobile through the exhaust system that was not
properly maintained or was already damaged.
Do not allow the engine to run inside a garage or
enclosed space except for coming in/going out the
garage.
Verify that the tail pipe is free of any snow cover or
other object that may allow the effluent gases to
build up under the body.

1-2
Catalytic converter
Catalytic converter
Catalytic converter is an emission control device
fitted in the exhaust system to reduce emission of
pollutants.
Danger
●When engine is running, the exhaust system
gets hot, and hot effluent gases are then emitted.
●The automobile shall be parked such that the
minimum distance of 30cm from the tail of
automobile to the inflammable object (such as
wood block or plywood) may be maintained. If
the distance is too short, the inflammable object
may be discolored, distorted or ignited.
●Do not drive or park the automobile on
inflammable substances such as grass, leaves,
paper or tatters.
●Human bodies and inflammable objects must
also be kept away from the exhaust system.
Warning
If massive unburned gas enters into the catalytic
converter, the converter may be overheated and
cause a fire.
To avoid these and other damages, please observe
the following precautions:
●Do not drive the automobile when fuel level is
extremely low;
●Do not allow the engine to run at high idle
speed for more than 10 minutes or at idle speed
for more than 20 minutes;
●Do not turn off the ignition switch when you
drive the automobile;
●Never push and pull the automobile at startup of
the engine.
●Avoid engine racing;
●Use lead-free gasoline only.
Perform regular inspections as specified in Xenia
maintenance plan so as to guarantee normal
operation of the engine body, catalytic converter
and the whole emission control system.
If it is hard to start up the engine, the engine is
frequently subjected to stalling, or knocking occurs
at acceleration, invite a special service store
immediately to inspect your automobile.

local special service store.
Electromagnetic waves emitted by these electronic
equipment would adversely affect the EFI
(electronic fuel injection) system, A.B.S(antilock
brake system) and SRS air bags etc., and lead to
improper operation.
Interior frictional force of a new automobile may be
relatively high, and the frictional force may be
gradually reduced while all parts and components
start operation and are adapted mutually.
