DESCRIPTION

EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
In the
interest
of
clean
air Pollution of our environment has become

a
problem
that
is of increasing concern to
all of us. We urge you to
join
us in our ef­

forts
for cleaner air in controlling the pollu­
tants emitted from the automobile.

You
can make a significant contribution to
keeping our air clean by:
• Always using lead free gasoline.
• Not
letting
your vehicle idle
unnecessa­

rily.
• Following the recommended preven­
tive maintenance schedule contained in
the maintenance booklet.
• Not removing or altering the emission
control system.
• Taking the precautions described
below to prevent damage to the emission
control system in your vehicle.

Volkswagen
warrants the Emission
Con­
trol
System in your new vehicle under the
terms and conditions set
forth
in the War­ ranty booklet.

Your
Volkswagen is equipped
with
such a
system,
which contains the following major components.
Catalytic
converter

The catalytic converter is an efficient
"clean-up"
device
built
into
the exhaust system of the vehicle. The catalytic conver­
ter burns the undesirable pollutants in the exhaust gas before it is released
into
the
atmosphere.
The
exclusive
use of
unleaded
fuel
is cri­
tically
important
for the
life
of the
cataly­

tic
converter
and
proper
functioning
of
the
engine.

The
catalytic
converter
will
be
perma­
nently
damaged
by
•
exceeding
the "max"
marking
when

adding
engine
oil (see
page
99)
• push or tow
starting
your
vehicle

•
misfiring
of the
engine

•
turning
off the
ignition
while
the

vehicle
is
moving
or
•
other
unusual
operating
conditions. Do not
continue
to
operate
your
vehicle

under
these
conditions, as
otherwise

fuel
can
reach
the
catalytic
converter.

This could
result
in
overheating
of the
converter,
requiring
its
replacement.

For
maintenance intervals refer to your
Maintenance booklet.

Oxygen
Sensor (OXS)
The oxygen sensor, installed in the exhaust manifold, continuously
senses

the oxygen content of the exhaust and

signals
the information to an electronic
control
unit.

Carbon
canister

The vehicle is equipped
with
a carbon canister to prevent fuel vapor from
esca­
ping
into
the atmosphere.
The vapor is passed
into
the carbon canister, where it is retained when the
engine is turned off. When the engine is running, a valve allows air
into
the canister,
and the fuel vapor is passed to the engine
for combustion.
The system does not require any main­
tenance.

DESCRIPTION

To
assure
efficient
operation
of
the
Emis­
sion
Control
System:

•
Have
your
vehicle maintained pro­
perly and in accordance
with
the ser­
vice recommendations as described in
your
Maintenance booklet. Lack of
proper maintenance as
well
as im­
proper use of the vehicle
will
impair
the function of the emission control
system
and
could
lead
to
damage.

•
Do not alter or remove any compo­
nent of the Emission Control System

unless
approved
by
the
manufacturer.

•
Do not alter or remove any device,

such
as heat shields, switches, ignition
wires, valves, which are designed to protect
your
vehicle's emission control

system.

•
Do not continue to operate
your

vehicle if you detect engine misfire or
other
unusual
operating conditions. WARNING
Starting
Do
not leave engine idling unatten­

ded
after starting. If warning lights should come on to indicate improper

operation,
they would go unheeded. Extended idling also produces heat,
which could result in overheating
or other
damage
to
the
vehicle
or
other
property.

Parking
•
Do
not
park
or
operate
the
vehicle
in

areas
where the hot exhaust system
may
come in contact
with
dry grass,

brush,
fuel spill or other material,
which
can
cause
a
fire.
Undercoating

Do
not apply additional undercoating
or rustproofing on or
near
the
exhaust
manifold,
exhaust
pipes,
catalytic
con­

verter
or heat shields. During driving,
the substance used for undercoating
could
overheat
and
cause
a
fire.
