How to Determine the
Applicable Emissions Control
System Warranty

State and Federal agencies may
require a different emission control
system warranty depending on:

.

Whether the vehicle conforms to
regulations applicable to light
duty or heavy duty emission
control systems.

.

Whether the vehicle conforms to
or is certified for California
regulations in addition to U.S.
EPA Federal regulations.

All vehicles are eligible for Federal
Emissions Control System Warranty
Coverage. If the emissions control
label contains language stating the
vehicle conforms to California
regulations, the vehicle is also
eligible for California Emissions
