EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS
DESCRIPTION
Your vehicle is subject to U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA) and
California Air Resources Board (CARB)
emission regulations. These regulations
set specific standards for exhaust emis-
sion output levels and fuel permeation
emissions, as well as particular servic-
ing requirements.
EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
The exhaust emission control system of
your vehicle includes a number of parts.
While the emission-related parts may
vary from model to model, they gener-
ally include components of the air
induction system, fuel system, ignition
system, and exhaust gas recirculation
system, as well as devices such as cat-
alytic converters, emission-related sen-
sors, and electronic control units.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM (if equipped)
The evaporative emission control sys-
tem of your vehicle consists of the car-
bon canister, fuel tank, fuel hoses, and
fuel vapor hoses. These parts incorpo-
rate technologies to control fuel evapo-
rative emissions.
