Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System: Overview

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

The EGR system controls oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. Small amounts of exhaust gases are recirculated back into the combustion chamber to mix with the air/fuel charge. The combustion chamber temperature is thereby reduced, lowering NOx emissions.
