Technician Safety Information

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when working around the catalytic converter. These units heat to a high temperature after only a short period of operation.

WARNING: Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide which can be harmful and are potentially lethal. Exhaust system leaks should be serviced immediately. NEVER operate the vehicle in enclosed areas.
