Catalytic converter

Proper operation of the emission control system (catalytic converter)

is of major significance for driving your vehicle in an environmen-

tally conscious way.

Please refer to the following guidelines.

– For vehicles with petrol engine only refuel with unleaded petrol

⇒ page 219, “Grades of petrol”.

– Never run the fuel tank completely empty.

– Do not switch off the ignition while you are driving the vehicle.

– Do not pour too much oil into the engine ⇒ page 225, “Replenishing

engine oil”.

– Do not tow-start the vehicle over a distance of more than 50 metres

⇒ page 252, “Tow-starting and towing vehicle”.

If you drive your vehicle in a country in which unleaded petrol is not available, you

must have the catalytic converter replaced later when driving the vehicle into a

country in which use of a catalytic converter is mandatory.

WARNING

• In view of the high temperatures which may be produced in the catalytic

converter, one should always park a vehicle in such a way that the catalytic

converter cannot come into contact with easily flammable materials below

the vehicle - a risk of fire!

• Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection

agents for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters or heat shields. Such

substances might ignite when driving - risk of fire!

Caution

• Vehicles fitted with catalytic converter should never be allowed to let the fuel

tank to run completely empty. An irregular fuel supply can result in poor ignition or

misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and damage the catalytic

converter.

• Filling the tank even only once with leaded petrol will result in the catalytic

converter being destroyed.

• If you detect a power reduction or irregular engine running when driving,

reduce your speed immediately and have the vehicle inspected by the nearest

specialist garage. The symptoms described may be caused by a fault in the ignition

system. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and damage the catalytic

converter.

For the sake of the environment

Even if the exhaust system is operating properly, a sulphur-like exhaust odour may

be produced under certain operating conditions of the engine. This depends on the

sulphur content of the fuel. It is often sufficient to refuel with unleaded premium-

grade petrol of a different brand or at a different filling station.

Driving in an economical and environmentally

conscious manner

General

Your personal style of driving is a major factor.

Your fuel consumption, any pollution of the environmental and the wear-and-tear

to the engine, brakes and tyres, depend essentially on three factors:

• your personal style of driving,

• the conditions under which your vehicle is operated,

• technical aspects.

You can easily improve your fuel economy by 10 - 15 percent by driving in an

economical way with foresight. This section is intended to provide you with a

number of tips on how to protect the environment and at the same time save

money.
