Overview
NOTICE:
Do not use leaded fuel in a vehicle equipped with a
catalytic converter. In a vehicle that is continually misfueled, the
lead in the fuel will be deposited in the catalytic converter and
completely blanket the catalyst. Lead reacts with platinum to "poison"
the catalyst...
The hazard flashers operate when the
ignition is in any position, or if the key is not
in the ignition. The battery loses charge
and may have insufficient power to restart
your vehicle if your vehicle is in use or if the
key is not in the ignition...
