This decal was placed on the back of the driver's sun visor starting in 1975 to warn about how to care for your catalytic converter and the risk of fire if you take your car into a grassy area. I am sure Frog was reading and heeding this warning as she took the Trans Am off road.
The catalytic converter played an important role in the evolution of all muscle cars back then, but especially the Trans Am. It is the primary reason you could not get an automatic with the 455 engine. There wasn't enough room for the the heavy duty TH400 transmission with the catalytic converter.
