Catalytic Converter

Driving
NOTE: Any engine misfire, loss of
engine performance or engine
run-on, could seriously damage
the catalytic converter. For this
reason, it is vital that unqualified
persons do not tamper with the
engine and that regular
maintenance is carried out by a
Rover dealer in accordance with
the service interval plan in the
Service Portfolio book.
Do not overload or excessively ‘rev’ the engine.
Do not switch off the engine when the car is in motion
with a drive gear selected.
Consult your dealer if you think your car is burning too
much oil, as this will progressively reduce catalyst
efficiency.
If a misfire is suspected, or the car lacks power while
driving, provided the engine has reached its normal
operating temperature, it may be driven SLOWLY (at risk
of catalyst damage) to a Rover dealer.
Do not run the engine with a spark plug or lead removed
or use any device that requires an insert into a spark plug.
Do not drive on terrain likely to subject the underside of
the car to heavy impacts.
