If you notice one or more of the
following, the emission system may
not be working properly. Have the
vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
• Fluid leaks.
• The
and CHECK
ENGINE
lights
illuminate in the instrument
cluster and remain lit.
• Strange odors.
• Engine runs more than five
seconds after shut-off or engine
misfires, surges, stalls or
backfires.

When servicing your vehicle, never
use a metal exhaust collector. A

Important emission control
information
By law, anyone who manufactures,
repairs, services, sells, leases,
trades vehicles, or supervises a
fleet of vehicles is not permitted to
intentionally remove an emission
control device or prevent it from
working.
Do not make any unauthorized
changes to the vehicle or engine.
Changes that cause more
unburned fuel to reach the exhaust
system can increase the
temperature of the engine or
exhaust system.
