cle to make sure there are no
objects or obstacles before mov-
ing the vehicle in any direction to
prevent a collision.

the vehicle is driven close to
objects, particularly pedestrians,
and especially children.

Maintenance
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the
onboard canister. When the engine is
running, the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank
through the purge control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve(PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is con-
trolled by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant temper-
ature is low during idling, the PCSV clos-
es so that evaporated fuel is not taken
into the engine. After the engine warms-
up during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to the
engine.
3. Exhaust Emission Control System
The Exhaust Emission Control System is
a highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining
good vehicle performance.
When the engine starts or fails to start,
excessive attempts to restart the engine
may cause damage to the emission sys-
tem.
Engine exhaust (carbon monox-
ide) precautions
Carbon monoxide can be present with
other exhaust fumes. If you smell
exhaust fumes of any kind in your vehi-
cle, drive with all the windows fully
open. Have your vehicle checked and
repaired immediately.
Engine exhaust gases contain car-
bon monoxide (CO). Though color-
less and odorless, it is dangerous
and could be lethal if inhaled.
Follow the instructions on this
page to avoid CO poisoning.
