Honda CR-V: Emissions Controls
Honda CR-V (2006–2011) Owner's Manual / Technical Information / Emissions Controls
The burning of gasoline in your vehicle’s engine produces several byproducts.
Some of these are carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC).
Gasoline evaporating from the tank also produces hydrocarbons. Controlling the production of NOx, CO, and HC is important to the environment.
Under certain conditions of sunlight and climate, NOx and HC react to form photochemical ‘‘smog.’’ Carbon monoxide does not contribute to smog creation, but it is a poisonous gas.

Evaporative Emissions Control System
As gasoline evaporates in the fuel
tank, an evaporative emissions

Replacing Tires andWheels
Replace your tires with radial tires of
the same size, load range, speed
rating, and maximum cold tire
pressure rating (as shown on the
tire’s sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tires on
your vehicle can reduce braking
ability, traction, and steering
accuracy. Using tires of a di
