Canada
The same conditions that apply in the USA apply to Canada, with one exception.
After the vehicle is sold to a retail customer, that is, the end user, the jurisdiction
controlling the emission control devices becomes the province in which the vehicle is
licensed. No changes should be made that render any or all of the devices inoperative.
Should the owner/operator wish to make any changes to the emission control devices,
check with the provincial authority before making any such changes.
Mexico
The same conditions that apply in the USA apply to Mexico. Refer to the Mexican
Federal Law for Emission Control which adheres to EPA regulations. No changes
should be made that render any or all of the emissions control devices inoperative.
Should the owner/operator wish to make any changes to the emission control devices,
check with the state authority before making any such changes.
Federal Emission Requirements
This section covers the requirement of the United States Clean Air Act which states:
The manufacturer shall furnish with each new motor vehicle or motor vehicle engine
such written instructions for the maintenance and use of the vehicle or engine by
the ultimate purchaser as may be reasonable and necessary to assure the proper
functioning of emission control devices and systems.
This section also covers the requirements of the emissions regulations promulgated
under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act in Canada.
