As long as the indicator lights ¹, B or %0# are on, expect engine malfunctions, increased fuel consumption, and loss of engine efficiency. Catalytic converter ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS The catalytic converter provides exhaust gas after-treatment to help reduce pollutants in the exhaust gas. To help ensure long service life of the exhaust system and gasoline engine catalytic converter: x Only use unleaded fuel. x Never completely empty the fuel tank. x Do not exceed the correct oil leve⇒ l Engine oil. x Do not tow the vehicle to start it, but use a jump-start instead⇒ Jump-starting. If you experience misfires, loss of power or the engine is not running smoothly while driving, reduce speed immediately and have the vehicle checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility. Otherwise, gasoline could reach the exhaust system and get into the atmosphere. The catalytic converter could also be damaged by overheating! Under certain engine conditions, you may smell a sulfur odor. This is not an indication of a mal- functioning emission control system. This depends upon the sulfur content of the diesel fuel. Diesel particulate filter ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS The diesel particulate filter helps take soot particles out of the exhaust. The soot particles are collected and periodically burned in the filter at high temperatures (regeneration). The resulting heat can cause the temperature inside the engine compartment to increase. Regeneration can create noises, slight smells, and, regardless of the outside temperature, cause the radiator fan to start – even after the engine has been turned off. Volkswagen recommends frequently driving longer distances to help clean the filter. On vehicles with automatic transmissions, the engine speed may also increase slightly. The indicator light ¹ will not come on. To lengthen the life of the exhaust system and the diesel particulate filter: x Use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel No. 2⇒ Fuel. x Never refuel with gasoline or fuel oil or biodiesel that does not comply with the special require- ments for diesel fuel ⇒ Diesel fuel. x Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty. x Do not exceed the correct oil leve⇒ l Engine oil. x Do not tow the vehicle to start, but use a jump-start instead⇒ Jump-starting.
