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.
