EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
Your vehicle is subject to U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and California Air
Resources Board (CARB) emis-
sion regulations. These regula-
tions set specific standards for
exhaust emission output levels
and fuel permeation emissions,
as well as particular servicing
requirements.
Exhaust Emission Control
System
The exhaust emission control sys-
tem of your vehicle includes a
number of parts. While the emis-
sion-related parts may vary from
model to model, they generally
include components of the air
induction system, fuel system,
ignition system, and exhaust gas
recirculation system, as well as
devices such as catalytic convert-
ers, emission-related sensors,
and electronic control units.
Evaporative Emission Control
System (if equipped)
The evaporative emission control
system of your vehicle consists of
the carbon canister, fuel tank, fuel
hoses, and fuel vapor hoses.
These parts incorporate technolo-
gies to control fuel evaporative
emissions.
Servicing Requirements
It is essential to have your vehicle
serviced according to the mainte-
nance schedule in this manual to
maintain good emission perfor-
mance and to preserve your emis-
sion warranty coverage. If parts
replacement is necessary, replace
the parts with Genuine Suzuki
parts or their equivalent. Installing
improper replacement parts or
performing improper adjustments
can cause your vehicle to exceed
emission level limits. Tampering
with emission-related compo-
nents in a manner which defeats
or reduces the effectiveness of
these components is prohibited
by federal and California law.
