malfunctions. If necessary, driving may
be continued for a short time at a low

Controlling exhaust emission
Through design-related measures - mainly
in the area of the mixture formation
system - the proportion of noxious
materials in the exhaust, such as carbon
monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (CH) and
nitrogen oxides (NO
x
), is reduced to a
minimum.
Control indicator Z for exhaust
Lights up when the ignition is switched on
and during the start attempt. Goes off
shortly after the engine starts running.
If it lights while the engine is running there
is a fault in the emission control system.
The permitted emission values may be
exceeded. Consult a workshop
immediately. We recommend your
