Overview - Emissions Control System

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:

After exhaust system installation work, ensure system is spaced far enough away from body. If necessary, loosen the double clamp on the front exhaust pipes and align the pipes again.

Do not use sealants containing silicone. Traces of silicone components which are sucked into the engine are not burned there, and they damage the oxygen sensors.

Replace the self-locking nuts.
