This vehicle is equipped with an evaporative
emission control system to meet emission
standards. During warm weather, the petrol
vapours which contain HC evaporates easily
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
into the atmosphere from the fuel tank, if the
fuel system is unsealed or open. The
evaporative emission control system is used to
prevent petrol vapours from escaping into the
atmosphere from fuel tank. The canister (1)
collects the fuel vapour from the fuel tank and
then the fuel vapour is drawn into the engine
for re-burning to avoid pollution caused by the
fuel vapour diffused into the air.
POLISHING OF VEHICLE
After washing your vehicle, wax all painted
surfaces (except matte painted surfaces) using
a commercially available polish/quality liquid
or paste wax to finish the job. Use only a non
abrasive polish or wax made specifically for
automobiles. Apply the polish or wax
according to the instructions on the container.
NOTE
Polishing or waxing is not applicable for
models having matte finish paint.
This worsens the effect of the salt.
REMOVING ROAD SALT
The road may contain salt which was sprayed
as an anti freezing agent during winter, and
the seawater are the causes of rust.
Wash your vehicle when run on such
conditions by the following the point
mentioned below, Clean the vehicle using cold
water (page 51). Do not use warm water.
Extended storage, such as for winter, requires
that you take certain steps to reduce the
effects of deterioration from non use of the
vehicle. In addition, necessary repairs should
be made before storing the vehicle, otherwise
