Em ission control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to vehicles with petrol engine: The vehi
cle must only be used with unleaded petrol; oth
erwise the catalytic converter will be irreparably
damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir
ing. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which can cause overheating and dam
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: The die
sel particulate filter can filter out almost all soot
particles contained in the exhaust gas. In normal
driving conditions the filter is self-cleaning.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter not
be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is con
tinuously used only for short trips, the filter be-
220 comes
obstructed with soot and the symbol Cl
for the diesel particulate filter lights up
¢page 15.
A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehi
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission control system (cata
lytic converter or diesel particulate filter),
do not park the vehicle where the exhaust
can come into contact with flammable ma
terials under the car (e.g. on grass or at the
forest edge) -risk of fire!
- Do not apply any undersea[ agents in the
area around the exhaust system -risk of
fire!
