Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Systems: Overview

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

The EGR system controls the nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions. Small amounts of exhaust gases are recirculated back into the combustion chamber to mix with the air to fuel charge. The combustion chamber temperature is reduced, lowering NO x emissions.
