European Emission Standards

The European Emission Standards are standards for exhaust emissions that limit the amount of air pollutants
that are released from new vehicles sold in Europe.
You can find your vehicle's emission standards in your vehicle's owner's manual, your vehicle registration
documents, or printed on your vehicle's door frame. If you are unable to locate the emission standard for your
vehicle, you can contact your vehicle dealer or manufacturer for more information.
