Operating Precautions for Catalytic ConvertersYour vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter
emission control device.
Therefore, the following precautions must be observed:
 Use only UNLEADED FUEL.
 Do not park the vehicle over or near flammable
objects, such as dry grass, paper, leaves, etc. Under
certain conditions, they could be ignited by a hot
exhaust system.
 Do not operate the vehicle when there are signs of
engine malfunction, such as misfire or a noticeable
loss of performance.
 Do not misuse or abuse the engine. Examples of
misuse are coasting with the ignition off and
descending steep grades in gear with the ignition
off.
 Do not operate the engine at high idle speed for
extended periods (5 minutes or more). Do not modify or tamper with any part of the engine
or emission control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.
Failure to observe the above precautions could result in
damage to the catalytic converter and to your vehicle
and could void your warranties.
Before DrivingBefore entering vehicle:
 Be sure that all windows, outside mirror(s), and
outside lights are clean.
 Check the condition of the tires.
 Check under the vehicle for any sign of leaks.
 Be sure there are no obstacles behind you if you
intend to back up.
Driving Tips5-4
RIO ENG CNA 5.qxd 7/29/05 5:07 PM Page 4

Necessary InspectionsFluid levels, such as engine oil, engine coolant,
brake/clutch fluid, and washer fluid should be checked
on a regular basis, with the exact interval depending on
the fluid. Further details are provided in Maintenance,
Section 7.Before Starting Close and lock all doors.
 Position the seat so that all controls are easily
reached.
 Adjust the inside and outside rearview mirrors.
 Be sure that all lights work.
 Check all gauges.
 Check the operation of warning lights when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
 Release the parking brake and make sure the brake
warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are familiar with your
vehicle and its equipment.
Drunk DrivingDrinking and driving is dangerous. Drunk driving is
the number one contributor to the highway death toll
each year. Alcohol impairs a driver’s judgment, vision
and muscular coordination. Even a small amount of
alcohol will affect a driver’s reflexes, perceptions and
judgment.
Please don’t drink and drive, or ride with a driver who
has been drinking. Choose a designated driver if you’re
with a group, or if you’re alone, call a cab.Drugs and DrivingDriving while under the influence of drugs is as
dangerous or more dangerous than driving under the
influence of alcohol, depending on the drug(s) used
and the quantity consumed. Don’t take drugs and drive.
If you are taking a prescription medicine, check with
your doctor or pharmacist regarding whether you may
operate a motor vehicle.
