hicle an efficient
emission control system, using genuine
Volkswagen
parts, in
con-
~
formance

Federal
Clean Air Act in
t
he
Unit ed Stat
es
and Canadian
Emis-
sion Standards,
respectively. To help keep
our
air
clean, you
can

in your vehicle.

Maintenance, repair or replacement of emission control components
may be performed by any qualified automotive service and repair es-
tablishment or individual without affecting the Emission Control
System Warranty, provided that such repairs are performed to
manufacturer's specifications, and that replacement parts are at
least equivalent to genuine Volkswagen parts in emission
perfor-
mance and durability. Warranty repairs and replacements,
however,
must be performed by an authorized Volkswagen
dealer.
