EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

PURPOSE

The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of HC, CO and NOx exhausted from the
engine ((3) and (4)), to prevent the atmospheric release of blow–by gas–containing HC (1) and evaporated
fuel containing HC being released from the fuel tank (2).
The function of each system is shown in the following table:

System

Function

(1) Positive Crankcase Ventilation

(2) Evaporative Emission Control

(3) Three–Way Catalytic Converter

(4) Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection*
