Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: For vehicles equipped with catalytic converter caution:
If a large amount of unburned gasoline or gasoline vapors flow into the converter, it may cause overheating and create a fire hazard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions.
- Use only unleaded gasoline.
- Avoid idling the engine for more than 20 minutes.
- Avoid performing unnecessary spark jump tests.
- Perform a spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
- While testing, never race the engine.
- Avoid a prolonged engine compression measurement. Engine compression measurements must be performed as rapidly as possible.
- Do not run the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty. This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
