Introduction

Recycling end-of-life vehicles

Volkswagen has already made provision for you to recycle your vehicle in an environmentally-

friendly manner. The recycling system operating in many European countries will take back your

vehicle at the end of its useful life. Once the vehicle has been recycled, a certificate of destruction

will be issued to show that the vehicle has been disposed of correctly.

End-of-life vehicles are recycled free of charge, provided that national legislation is complied with.

Further information on the recycling of end-of-life vehicles can be found at a Volkswagen

dealership.

Catalytic converter

First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒

Introduction

The catalytic converter is used for exhaust gas post-treatment and helps to reduce exhaust

emissions. To help ensure long-term functionality in the exhaust system and the catalytic converter:

•

Use unleaded petrol only.

Do not allow the fuel tank to run empty.

Do not overfill engine oil ⇒ Engine oil.

Do not tow-start the vehicle. Use jump leads ⇒ Starting the engine with jump leads.

If you notice misfiring, uneven running or loss of power when the vehicle is moving, reduce speed

immediately. The vehicle should be inspected at the nearest qualified workshop. If this happens,

unburnt fuel can enter the exhaust system and escape into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter

can also be damaged by overheating.

Even when the exhaust purification system is working perfectly, there may be a smell of

sulphur from the exhaust in some conditions. This depends on the sulphur content of the fuel being

used.
