Are Changan Kalam drivers in Pakistan aware of the early warning signs of a failing catalytic converter?

Loss of power, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires are often ignored. Is driver education on this issue lacking?

Mostly not.

Early signs often go unnoticed o r ignored, including:

🚗 Reduced acceleration o r power

📉 in fuel economy

⚠️ Check Engine Light CEL on dashboard

🔥 Excess heat under the car

😷 Strong rotten egg sulfur smell from exhaust

Many drivers treat these as minor issues and continue driving, which worsens the problem.
