Emission System Maintenance

Gasoline Engines

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and, in California, the Air Resources Board
have certified that the emission control
systems of your vehicle comply with the
applicable exhaust emission standards for
MY 2012 vehicles. This vehicle also complies
with the applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle
Emission Standards.
To be certain that the emission control
systems function as designed, regular
maintenance is necessary for components
of the vehicle which affect exhaust and
evaporative emissions composition.
The vehicle owner is responsible for the
regular maintenance of the emission control
system, as well as the use of premium
unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock index
of at least 91 (displayed on the pump) in all
gasoline engine models unless otherwise
specified.
Refer to your Warranty book and Operator's
Manual for additional information.
Failure to properly maintain the emission
system may result in repairs not being
covered by the emission system warranties.
Explanations of each maintenance job are
given on (e page 14).

Warning!
