Engine/Evaporative Emission System Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Manufacturers must use a standardized system for identifying their individual engine families. The engine family group and the evaporative family name consists of 12 characters each.

Both the engine family group and the evaporative family name are listed in the box on the emission decal as indicated in the area marked as engine evaporative family information. The first line contains the engine size and the 12-character engine family group. The second line contains the 12-character evaporative family name information. Both the engine family group and the evaporative family name are specific to the vehicle. Please refer to the Engine Family Group and the Evaporative Family Name worksheet for decoding information.
