6. Do not run the engine with the fuel tank almost empty. Failure to observe this safety measure
causes an irregular ignition. Besides, an excessive charge to the catalytic converter could dam-
age it .
7. Avoid riding downhill in neutral with the ignition switch set to OFF. Besides, avoid braking
for a long time.
8. Avoid disposing of the catalytic converter with other parts contaminated with petrol or diesel.
WARNING
- CHECK AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY IF THE IDLE IS TOO HIGH OR UNSTABLE
OR IF MALFUNCTIONS ARE DETECTED IN THE SYSTEM. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS SAFETY
MEASURE CAN CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. - IF THERE IS A GREAT QUANTITY OF UNBURNED
GASES IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AN OVERHEATING CAN BE DETECTED WITH THE
CONSEQUENT FIRE HAZARD. TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, STRICTLY FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SUBJECT. IN ADDITION, ALSO EXPLAIN TO THE CUSTOMERS WHICH
SAFETY MEASURES MUST BE ADOPTED.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
In case of vehicles with an engine equipped with a mobile communication system, as two-way wireless
telephones or mobile phones, be careful to follow the safety measures indicated below.
1. Fit the aerial as far as possible from the electronic control unit and from the vehicle electronic control
system sensors.
2. The aerial wire must be at least at 30 cm from the electronic control unit and from the vehicle electronic
control system sensors. For further information regarding the electronic control unit and the sensors,
refer to the diagram about the component layout in the relevant paragraph.
3. Do not wrap the aerial power supply wires with other wires. Avoid placing the aerial feeder in direction
to other wires, when this is possible.
4. Be careful to adjust the aerial and the power supply wires properly.
5. Never fit a mobile communication system too hard.
INJECTION SYSTEM CIRCUIT CHECK
1. Before connecting or disconnecting the connec-
tors and terminals, place the ignition switch to OFF
or disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal.
Otherwise, there will be an interrupted wire in the
cable harness and the failure-free function will be
activated.
On the other hand, when the battery negative (-)
terminal is disconnected, the diagnosis code is
cleared. Therefore, confirm the diagnosis code be-
forehand, if necessary.
