Introduction
Checklist
The components relevant to emission control reduce harmful emissions. Observe the following points to ensure that
the components relevant to emission control work in the long term:
✓ Never run the fuel tank completely dry.
✓ Refuel only with fuels that are suitable for the vehicle (→ Fuel types and refuelling).
✓ Use only engine oil that is suitable for the vehicle (→ Engine oil).
✓ Do not fill too much engine oil (→ Engine oil).
✓ Never tow the vehicle to start it, but use jump leads instead (→ Jump starting).
If you notice misfiring, loss of power or uneven running when driving, reduce speed immediately and have the vehicle
checked by a qualified workshop. If this happens, unburnt fuel can enter the exhaust system and escape into the
atmosphere. The components relevant to emission control can also be damaged by overheating.
WARNING
Engine emissions contain carbon monoxide that can cause people to lose consciousness and can also cause death.
● Do not allow the engine to run in enclosed spaces.
● Never start the engine in enclosed spaces.
● Do not leave the vehicle unattended if the engine is running.
WARNING
The components of the exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires.
● Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material
underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass.
● Do not apply additional underseal or anti-corrosion coatings to the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, particulate
filters or the heat shields.
The emissions may have a sulphur-like smell even if the emission purification system is working
properly.
