EMISION CONTROL SYSTEM
Source of emissions
The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons is very important
because, under certain conditions, they react to form
photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon
monoxide does not react in the same way, but is toxic.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Utilises a secondary air supply system
to reduce carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Exhaust Emission Control System
The exhaust emission control system consists of a secondary
air supply system which introduces filtered air into the exhaust
gases in the exhaust port. No adjustment to this system
should be made although periodic inspection of the components
is recommended.
Noise Emission Control System
