1998 Chevrolet Express 1 Ton Van V8-5.7L VIN RSECTION Customer Safety Information
WARNING: Do not attempt to dismantle the steering column on vehicles equipped with air bags; personal injury and vehicle damage may result.
CAUTION:
On vehicles equipped with catalytic converters the following conditions must be observed:
1. Use only "UNLEADED FUEL."
2. Avoid running out of fuel.
3. In case of poor engine operation (misfire), avoid driving the vehicle and correct the problem immediately.
4. Avoid push or pull starting the vehicle.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
1. The catalytic converter normally reaches operating temperatures of 650° C (1200 °F). DO NOT park the vehicle over any object or material that could ignite (i.e. dry leafs, cardboard, puddles of oil, or other combustibles). The catalytic converter will also stay hot for some time after the engine has been shut "OFF."
2. Parts of the exhaust gases (carbon monoxide) are toxic. DO NOT run the engine in confined areas or breath concentrated exhaust gases. Breathing toxic exhaust gases may cause loss of consciousness or even death.
3. Repair any leaks in the exhaust system as soon as possible. Hot gases escaping from the leak can ignite flammable materials and set the vehicle on fire.
4. Always be conscience of fuel odors and excessive tailpipe emission output (Black smoke etc...), as these are problem indicators.
