Three- way catalytic converter cautions
Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particularly involving the electrical, fuel or
distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three- way catalytic converter temperatures. Do not continue to
operate your vehicle if you detect engine misfire, noticeable loss of power or other unusual operating conditions, such
as engine overheating or backfiring. A properly tuned engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the

Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving
may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the
right type and use correct torque. When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in good
condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced. When changing the spark plugs, clean the terminals
and the rubber seals.
WARNING!
The distributor ignition system operates at very high voltages. Special safety precautions must be followed to
prevent injury. Always turn the ignition off when:
áReplacing distributor ignition components e. g. plugs, coil, etc.
áDo not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may result in unintended
movements and body injury.

The following should be checked regularly:*
1. Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshield washer anti- freeze). See
page 149
.
2. Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it must not be above the
HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF fluid. See page 174
.
3. Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-freeze and 50% water. See page 169.
4. Engine oil level should be between the dipstick marks. The distance between the marks represents approx. 1.6 US
qt. (1.5 liter). See page 172
.
5. Brake fluid - check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the MIN mark. Use brake fluid DOT 4+. See
page 174
.
Fuel octane rating, see page 126.
Tire pressure, see label located on the inside of the fuel tank cover.
*Engine oil should be checked each time the car is refueled.
