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.

engine’s crankcase from going into
the atmosphere. The positive

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

The Passenger’s Front Airbag Can Pose Serious Risks
Front airbags have been designed to
help protect adults in a moderate to
severe frontal collision. To do this,
the passenger’s front airbag is quite
large, and it can inflate with enough
force to cause very serious injuries.
