GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Arduous
operating
conditions
ne vehicle construction and equipment is
resigned for normal operating conditions.
his also applies to the frequency and the
extent of the maintenance laid down in the
service
Schedule.
f the vehicle is used in arduous operating
conditions (e.g. continuous trailer towing,
exceptionally high or low ambient tempera-
:ures,
very dusty conditions, poor quality
ruel,
etc.) it may be necessary to carry out
special
technical preparations, such as ;hanging the oil to the appropriate viscosity, ^stalling special air cleaners, modifying the
ignition timing etc. Furthermore, the main
tenance must also be matched to the oper
ating conditions - see also page 93.
Driving
abroad
If the vehicle is to be taken abroad, the fol
lowing must also be borne in mind:
• If the vehicle has a catalytic converter, one must ensure
that
unleaded petrol will be available during the journey - see
page 86.The automobile clubs offer infor mation about the unleaded filling station
network.
• Although there are more than 10 000
Volkswagen
dealers all over the world to
service
Volkswagen vehicles there are
countries in which only a limited amount of
service
is available or none at all.
• In certain countries it is also possible
that
your vehicle model is not soid so
that
certain
spare
parts will not be available or
that
the
Volkswagen
personnel are not familiar
with
the repair procedure should anything go
wrong.
The Volkswagen
Sales
Centres in Germany or the
Importer
concerned will be only too
pleased
to give advice on the necessary
technical preparation of the vehicle, on the maintenance required and on the repair
possibilities.
The addresses are given in the vehicle wallet. • When the vehicle is used in a country
which drives on the opposite side of the road to the home country the wedge
shaped
areas on the headlight lenses must be masked - see page 129.
Driving
on
holiday
Before starting off note the following
points:
• The roadworthiness and driving safety are particularly important when on holiday-
see
page 78.
• With a fully laden vehicle and/or roof rack, the handling changes. The driving
style must be adapted to the different condi
tions - more information on loading is given
on page 28.
The
tyre
pressures must be checked - see
page147.
• When a trailer is to be towed, there are many special points to note - see page 81.
• If an oil change or an Inspection Service
is
probably going to become necessary dur
ing the
trip,
it is advisable to have this work
done before going on holiday if possible.

used
as far as possible
• Use of similar plastic
within
an assembly group
• Use of materials which have been re
cycled
• PVC not
used,
when possible to use an alternative material
• No Cadmium
• No Asbestos
• No leaded paint
• Reduction in vapours emitted by plastics
Manufacture
• Recycled material used for the manufac
ture
of plastic parts
• Solvents abandoned for the cavity
seal
ing
• Use of water based paints
• Solvent free transport preservation • Use of solvent free bonding agents
•
CFCs
abandoned as far as possible dur ing manufacture
• Surplus material recycled as far as
poss
