Starting
Do not leave engine idling unattended
after starting. If warning lights should
come on to indicate improper opera-

could result in overheating or other
damage to the vehicle or other pro-

areas where the hot exhaust system
may come in contact with dry grass,
brush, fuel spill or other material
which can cause a fire.
Undercoating
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rustproofing on or near the exhaust
manifold, exhaust pipes, catalytic con-
verter or heat shields. During driving
the substance used for undercoating
could overheat and cause a fire.
