dards and Canadian Federal Standards and
are equipped with the following systems:
Sequential multiport fuel injection system
Three way catalytic converter
Crankcase emissions control system
Evaporative emission control system
On-Board diagnostic (OBD II) system.

atmosphere require regular checking and
adjustment at the intervals specified in the
service program.

environment clean, a correctly tuned engine
will also give maximum fuel economy.
