Kia Carens: Emission control system / 1. Crankcase emission control system
The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution
caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase. This system supplies fresh
filtered air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, which then pass through the PCV valve into
the induction system.
The emission control system of your vehicle is covered by a written limited warranty.
Please see the warranty information contained in the Warranty & Maintenance book
