OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM*
V.'-en vehicle is used normally there is
nothing special to be noted - apart from
putting lead-free petrol in the tank. In
certain exceptional circumstances the
following points should however be ob-
served for safety reasons:
• Underbody sealant must not be ap-
plied to the catalytic converter or the
exhaust pipes.
• Due to the high temperatures
which can occur in the catalytic con-
verter in very unfavourable conditions,
the vehicle should not be parked so
that the catalytic converter can come
into contact with easily inflammable
materials.
To ensure that the catalytic converter is
not damaged by overheating, the follow-
ing points must also be noted:
• The vehicle must not be started
when catalytic converter is at operating
temperature by towing it a long dis-
tance.
• The ignition must not be switched off
as long as vehicle is rolling with a gear
engaged.
• If a defect occurs in the ignition
system when driving (can be recogniz-
ed by misfiring, uneven engine running,
loss of power) the speed must be re-
duced immediately. The defect should
be eliminated in the next V.A.G work-
shop.
In these conditions, unburnt petrol can
get into the catalytic converter and be
burned there.
A functional description of the emission
control system is given on page 117.
