Maintenance Booklet
Emission System Maintenance
General
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agen-
cy 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 model year 2009 vehicles.
This vehicle also complies with the appli-
cable Canadian Motor Vehicle Emission
Standards.
To be certain that the emission control
systems function as designed, regular
maintenance is necessary for compo-
nents of the vehicle which affect exhaust
and evaporation emissions composition.
The vehicle owner is responsible for the
regular maintenance of the emission con-
trol system, as well as the use of premi-
um unleaded gasoline with an anti-knock
index of at least 91 (displayed on the
pump) in all gasoline engine models un-
less otherwise specified.
Failure to properly maintain the emission
system may result in repairs not being
covered by the emission system warran-
ties.
Explanations of each maintenance job
are given in numerical order on page 60.
