Three-way catalyst
The three-way catalyst is an emission control device installed in the exhaust system. Exhaust gases in the three-way catalyst are burned at high temperatures to help reduce pollutants.
WARNING
• The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep people,
animals or flammable materials
away from the exhaust system components.
• Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry
grass, waste paper or rags. They
may ignite and cause a fire.
CAUTION
• Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously
reduce the three-way
catalyst’s ability to help reduce exhaust
pollutants.
• Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunctions
in the ignition, fuel injection,
or electrical systems can cause
overrich fuel flow into the three-way
catalyst, causing it to overheat. Do
not keep driving if the engine misfires,
or if noticeable loss of performance
or other unusual operating
conditions are detected. Have the
vehicle inspected promptly by a
NISSAN dealer.
• Avoid driving with an extremely low
fuel level. Running out of fuel could
cause the engine to misfire, damaging
the three-way catalyst.
• Do not race the engine while warming
it up.
• Do not push or tow your vehicle to
start the engine.
