- Be sure to refuel with unleaded gasoline only.
- If leaded petrol was added by mistake, the exhaust pipe before the catalytic converter and the catalytic converter must be replaced. However, before installing new parts, it is necessary to drive at least 2 times with unleaded petrol.
- Starting the engine by pushing or towing is not permitted. Unburned fuel during ignition may cause the catalytic converter to overheat and be destroyed. Use a jumper cable to start the engine.
- Frequent, consecutive cold engine starts should be avoided. Otherwise, unburned fuel accumulates in the catalytic converter, which burns explosively, destroying the catalytic converter.
- If you have difficulty starting the engine, do not crank the engine with the starter for too long (more than a minute). Fuel is constantly injected during cranking. It is necessary to determine and eliminate the cause.
- Do not perform spark testing with spark plug leads disconnected.
- It is not possible to carry out a comparative test by turning off the ignition in one of the cylinders.
- In case of ignition problems, avoid high revs and eliminate the defect as quickly as possible.
- Do not park or leave the vehicle for a long time in places where flammable objects such as dry grass and leaves may come into contact with the hot muffler. Risk of fire!
