Description
Emissions Control System consists of three major systems.
- The Crankcase Emission Control System prevents blow-by gas from
releasing into the atmosphere.
This system recycles gas back into the intake manifold (Closed Crankcase Ventilation Type).
- The Evaporative Emission Control System prevents evaporative gas from
releasing into the
atmosphere. This system burns gas at appropriate engine operating condition after gathering it in
the canister. - The Exhaust Emission Control System converts the three pollutants (hydrocarbons
(HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx)) into harmless substances by using the 3-way
catalytic converter.

Warning
Be sure to read and follow the "General Safety Information and
Caution" before doing any work related with
the high voltage system. Failure to follow the safety instructions may
result in serious electrical injuries.
Vehicle Stabilization
Use standard stabilization (cribbing) points, as shown beside. Always be sure
to connect to a structural member of the vehicle and
avoid placing cribbing under high voltage cables, fuel lines and other areas not
normally considered acceptable.
