Catalytic Converter

Proper emission control is accomplished with a special 3-way catalytic converter which converts all 3 major pollutants. The converter is a dual-bed type. The "upstream" section of the converter contains a reducing/oxidizing bed to reduce NOx while at the same time oxidizing HC and CO.

An air supply pipe from the AIR system introduces air between the dual beds (during closed loop operation) so that second bed can oxidize any remaining HC and CO, with a high conversion efficiency, to minimize overall emissions.
