Volkswagen Tiguan Owners Manual: Catalytic Converter

Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject 

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:

• Only use unleaded fuel.

• Never completely empty the fuel tank.

• Do not exceed the correct oil level ⇒ Engine oil .

• 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!
