Fuel tank capacity: 50 L
Fuel cut-off system
When the engine stops running in an
accident, the engine control system
will stop providing engine with fuel
in order to minimize the possibility of
fuel leak.
If the fuel pump stops working,
please turn the switch to “ACC” or
“LOCK” before restarting.
CAUTION
Before restarting the engine,
check the ground below your
vehicle. If fuel leaks to the
ground, then the fuel system
would be damaged and need
repair. In this case, do not restart
the engine.
Three-way catalytic converter
The three-way catalytic converter
is an emission control device
installed in the exhaust system.
It aims to reduce pollutants in the
exhaust gas.
NOTICE
● Keep people and combustible
materials away from the exhaust
pipe while the engine is running.
The exhaust gas is very hot.
● Do not drive, idle, and park the
vehicle on easy-burning ground
such as lawn, leaves, sheets, and
rags, especially in summer.
NOTICE
A large amount of unburned gases
flowing in to the three-way catalytic
converter may cause or to overheat
and create a fire. To prevent this and
other damages, observe the
followings precautions:
● Use only the prescribed or above
unleaded gasoline.
● Do not drive with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of
fuel could cause the engine to
misfire, creating an excessive
load on the three-way catalytic
converter.
● Do not allow the engine to run
at high and low idle speed for a
long time.
● Avoid running the engine in
over speed mode.
● Do not push-start or pull-start
your vehicle.
● Do not turn off the ignition switch
