Catalytic converters (where applicable)
Cars equipped with catalytic converters
for the emission control system require
unleaded fuels for the engine. Deposits
from leaded gasolines and fuel additives
containing
sulfur,
zinc,
nickel or barium
render catalytic converters
inoperative,
and thus defeat their purpose to control
harmful exhaust emissions.
Cars with catalytic converters are so
identified by a sticker on the dashboard
and another sticker next to the fuel Filler
flap.
Unleaded fuel
Cars with catalytic converters requiring
unleaded fuel will have smaller fuel tank
openings, and gas station pumps will
have smaller nozzles. This will prevent
accidental pumping of leaded fuel into
cars with catalytic converters.
Unleaded fuels may not commonly be
available outside the United States.
Therefore Volkswagen of America, Inc.
or Volkswagenwerk AG does not re-
commend the sale of VW cars for use in
areas in which unleaded fuels are not
available.
Fuses
A failure in the electrical system may
caused a burned fuse.
Before replacing a fuse, the ground
terminal on the battery should be dis-
connected.
If
this is impossible, all
electrical components including the
ignition have to be turned off.
The
12-point
fuse box is located under
the instrument panel.
Take cover
off
To replace a
(use.
simply dopiess
a
con-
tact on either side of the fuse.
Carefully install new fuse with metal
strip facing you. The fuse must fit tightly
between the contact springs - do not
bend the springs.
Reinstall cover.
When a fuse is blown, it is not sufficient
to merely replace it. The cause of the
short circuit or overload must be found.
On no account should fuses be patched
up with tin
foil
or wire as this may cause
serious damage elsewhere in the electri-
cal circuit,
It is
advisable to always carry a few spare
(uses in the car.
