Do NOT - park the vehicle over any object or material that could ignite (i.e. dry leaves, cardboard, puddles of oil, or other combustibles).
- The catalytic converter routinely reaches operating temperatures of 1200° F (650° C) and remains hot for some time after the engine has been shut off.
Do NOT - run the engine in a confined area, or breathe concentrated exhaust gases.
- Exhaust gas contains toxic carbon monoxide.
- Breathing exhaust gases may cause loss of consciousness or death.
Repair - any leaks in the exhaust system as soon as possible.
- Hot gases escaping from the leak can ignite flammable materials, including vehicle components.
- Exhaust gas may enter the passenger compartment causing throat, sinus, or eye irritation, light headedness, headaches, and increased irritability, especially while driving with windows closed.
Be Alert - for fuel odors and excessive tailpipe emissions (black smoke etc).
- These indicate a problem that should be corrected as soon as possible, (excessive emissions can ruin oxygen sensors, catalytic converters, and other expensive emission components).
