Secondary air system (03_15, 03_16, 03_17)
In order to reduce polluting emissions, the vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter.
The catalysis is aided by the admission of fresh air, depurated through the Secondary
Air System (SAS), inside the exhaust duct directly on the cylinder head.
Such system provides an addition of oxygen to the unburnt gases before entering the
catalytic converter, thus allowing for improved process effectiveness.
Irregular noises are prevented, by the presence of a control valve which by-passes
the SAS while the vehicle is decelerating.
