I. New York Adoption of California Emission Requirements"
For the 1994 model year, the state of New York has adopted California emission requirements for all passenger cars and all trucks with GVWR (/- 6,000 lb.
To accommodate this change Saturn has implemented a New York Emission Requirements (NG1) merchandising order option. New York Emission Requirements (NG1) must be used by New York Retailers to order vehicles which conform to New York's emission requirements.
II. EPA's new Special Policy Regarding the Sale of California Certified Vehicles in States Contiguous to California/New York (AZ. CT, MA, NJ. NV. OR, PA & VT)
The EPA has officially extended its "place of sale" policy to the 1994 model year. This means that a Retailer located in New York may legally sell a vehicle which meets New Yorks emission requirements to a Federal customer. In addition, the EPA has developed a new special policy which will not prohibit Retailers in states contiguous to California/New York from selling vehicles which meet Californiia or New York emission requirements to Federal customers (i.e., those customers that live in states other than NY and CA). Consequently, Retailers in states contiguous to California (AZ, NV & OR) must use the California Emission Requirements (YF5) merchandising order option when they choose to der vehicle which conforms to California emission requirements. Similarly, Retailers in states contiguous to New York (CT, MA, NJ, PA & VT) must use the New York Emission Requirements (NG1) merchandising order option when they choose to order a vehicle which conforms to New York's new emission requirements. Otherwise, Retailers in states contiguous to California/New York should follow the Federal procedure explained later in this letter.
III. California and New York Emission Requirements
It is important that all Retailers (both inside and outside of the states of California and New York) are aware that California and New York prohibit:
0 the sale or offering for sale to an ultimate purchaser who is a resident of or doing business in California/New York, and
0 the lease, offering to lease, rent, or offering to rent in California/New York
of new 1994 model year Saturn motor vehicles intended primarily for use or registration in California/New York unless the vehicles are certified as complying with California/New York emission requirements. New motor vehicles are defined to include any motor vehicle, the title to which has never been transferred to an ultimate purchaser. The ultimate purchaser is defined to be the first person who in good faith purchases the vehicle for purposes other than resale. California and New York law also conclusively presumes that a vehicle with less than 7.500 miles has not been transferred to the ultimate purchaser. In other words, a vehicle with less than 7.500 miles is considered by California and New York to be a new vehicle even if it has been sold to an "ultimate purchaser" and then resold.
A. Impact upon Retailer
The importation, delivery, or acquisition of new vehicles which are intended for use, registration, sale, resale, leasing or rental in California/New York and which do not comply with the California/New York emission requirements, is also prohibited. penalties of up to $5,000 per vehicle may be imposed upon the Retailer for violations. Therefore, all new 1994 Saturn motor vehicles which are sold, leased, rented, or offered for sale, lease or rent and are intended primarily for use, registration or titling in California/New York, or for resale to a resident of California/New York, must be ordered with the merchandising order option CALIFORNIA EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (YF5) for California or NEW YORK EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (NG1) for New York, except where an exemption applies as explained below.
B. Impact upon Customer
In addition, the California/New York law applies directly to customers. If a customer is a resident of California/New York (or operates an established place of business in California/New York) and purchases (or otherwise acquires) outside California/New York a new motor vehicle which is intended for use or registration in California/new York, and if such vehicle does not comply with California vehicle emission requirements (where appropriate in New York), then that customer may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $5,000 and be required to dispose of the vehicle outside of California/New York.
C. California and New York Emission Exemptions
California and New York permit, under certain circumstances, the sale and use of vehicles in California and New York which do not comply with California and New York requirements regarding motor vehicle pollution control devices (i.e. vehicles without California Emission Requirements Option YF5 and vehicles without New York Emission Requirements Option NG1). California and New York law exempts the following: (a) an out-of-state replacement for a California or New York registered vehicle which was either stolen, damaged or became inoperative: (b) a vehicle purchased by a California/New York resident who resided in another state when the vehicle was purchased. For California residents, Manufacturers Advisory Correspondence (MAC) 88-01, included as Attachment 1, clarifies the last exemption by stating that the vehicle must have been purchased and registered in the other state before it may be registered in California. MAC 88-01 is directed at individuals who purchase a vehicle just before moving to California to take up residence there, and is intended to ensure compliance with California emission requirements. These individuals are, however, subject to a $300 "smog impact" fee upon initial registration in the state of California.
In addition to the above, the following exemptions apply to California residents only: (a) motor vehicles that are used by mosquito abatement, vector control or pest abatement districts or agencies; (b) any authorized emergency vehicle as that term is defined in Section 165(a) through (e) of California's Vehicle Code (shown in Attachment 1); (c) any ambulance used by a private entity under contract with a public agency. Attachment 2 is a certification form which California purchasers who choose to purchase vehicles under exemptions (a), (b) or (c) must sign. This certification form should be completed and signed at the time of each new vehicle order, California Retailers should retain the original signed form in their files and send a copy to the Saturn West Area Office.
IV. Federal (U.S. EPA) Emission Requirements
All Retailers should also note that the EPA prohibits the sale, offering for sale or delivery outside California, New York, or states contiguous to Califomia/New York of new 1994 model Saturn motor vehicles intended for primary use, registration or titling outside California, New York, or states contiguous to California/New York which are certified as meeting only California emission requirements and which are not certified as meeting Federal requirements. Under Federal law a new motor vehicle is defined as any vehicle for which the equitable or legal title has never been transferred to an ultimate purchaser. An ultimate purchaser is defined as the first person who in good faith purchases any new motor vehicle for purposes other than resale. Penalties of up to $25,000 per vehicle may be imposed for violations.
Therefore, all new 1994 Saturn motor vehicles which are sold, offered for sale or delivered for primary use, registration or titling outside California, New York or states contiguous to California/New York must be certified as meeting FEDERAL EMISSION REQUIREMENTS.
V. 50-State Certifted Saturn Vehicles SL. SL1. SC1 & SW1)
For the 1994 model year, Saturn will certify the SL. SL1, SC1 and the SW1 to meet all Federal, California, and New York emission requirements. These vehicles may be primarily used or registered in all 50 States. Saturn will continue to generate orders for these vehicles based upon the emission requirements for the state in which the ship-to facility is located (i.e., California vehicles will receive the California Emission Requirements (YF5) merchandising order option, New York vehicles will receive the New York Emission Requirements (NGI) merchandising order option, and vehicles shipped to the other 48 states will receive the Federal Emission Requirements (FE9) merchandising order option). Saturn will not charge for emissions options on these vehicles.
VI. Sales & Documentation Procedures For Vehicle Sales Not Compatible with Local Emission Requirements
In the interest of ensuring both Retailer and customer satisfaction, Saturn will ship vehicles with either California certified or Federal certified configurations to Retailers anywhere in the United States. However, for this practice to remain in effect, Retailers who choose to order vehicles not eligible for use in the state where their Retail facility is located must obtain from the customer a representation that such vehicles will be used, registered, or titled only in the appropriate location. Failure to adhere to the procedures provided could lead to penalties for the Retailer, Saturn, or both, and to the reversal of this practice.
For the 1994 model year, Saturn will automatically generate orders with an emission type in compatible with the emission requirements of the state in which the ship-to facility is located OR in accordance with a preference requested by Retailers in writing. This policy is solely intended to aid Retailers in ordering vehicles compatible with the market in which the retail facility is located. Those vehicles that are ordered with an emission configuration incompatible with the emission requirements of the state in which the ship-to facility is located will be processed in accordance with the information contained in the next section of this letter. Retailers must conform to all emission requirements outlined in this letter regardless of vehicle order generation.
A. Emission Bypass Ordering & Order Processing
Saturn will automatically add an emission override RPO when a Retailer changes a vehicle order to an emission system not compatible for the state where the "ship-to" retail facility is located (THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT REQUIRED OR APPLICABLE FOR 50-STATE CERTIFIED VEHICLES).
Retailers in California or New York ordering a FEDERAL EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (FE9) vehicle will have the emission override option (NB8) automatically placed on the order to acknowledge that the Retailer intends to order a vehicle which does not comply with their state's emission requirements.
California Retailers should be aware that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) receives a quarterly report from Saturn (via General Motors) which summarizes all vehicles equipped with Federal emissions equipment sold/delivered to a California Saturn Retail Facility. The CARB will use the information provided in these reports to periodically check with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and/or the California Saturn Retail Facility to determine that these vehicles are not ultimately registered in California.
Retailers located in Federal emission states ordering a CALIFORNIA EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (YF5) or NEW YORK EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (NG1) vehicle will have the emission override option (NC7) automatically placed on the order to acknowledge that the Retailer intends to order a vehicle which does not comply with their state's emission requirements.
Saturn maintains detailed order histories and copies of Retailer order confirmations for all vehicles equipped with Federal emissions which are shipped to California/New York Saturn Retail Facilities. The same is true for vehicles equipped with California/New York emissions that are shipped to Saturn Retail Facilities located in states other than California and New York. These records can and will be used to show how the Retailer ordered such vehicles in the event that the appropriate governmental agency conducts an investigation. All concerned retail facility personnel should be advised of this practice.
B. Documentation Requirements for Emission Bypass Orders
ATTACHMENT 3 IS AN AFFIRMATION FORM WHICH MUST BE COMPLETED BY CUSTOMERS WHO CHOOSE TO PURCHASE VEHICLES WHICH ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR USE AND REGISTRATION IN THE STATE IN WHICH THE RETAIL FACILITY IS LOCATED. THIS FORM MUST BE COMPLETED AND SIGNED AT THE TIME OF SALE OF EACH SUCH VEHICLE. Retailers should retain the original signed form in their files for inspection and MUST send a copy to their Area Office. These completed forms may be used to help safeguard the Retailer and Saturn in the event a government agency challenges the sale of such vehicles.
In addition to the signed affirmation form. Retailers who sell vehicles not eligible for use or registration in the state in which the retail facility is located should maintain full and complete records of all such sales. The records must indicate that the buyer of such vehicles will use. register or title the vehicle in a state for which the vehicle is certified as meeting the emission requirements (e.g., verification of the customer's place of employment or residence).
As stated earlier, Attacbment 2 is a certification form which must be signed by purchasers of vehicles which are exempt from the California emission requirements only (see previous discussion of the categories of vehicles exempt from the California emission requirements). This certification form should be completed and signed at the time of sale of each such new vehicle. Retailers should retain the original signed form in their files and send a copy to the Saturn West Area Office.
In lieu of a completed certification form, Retailers may accept a bid specification from the purchaser which contains (1) a statement that the vehicle is to be used for one of the purposes described in the first paragraph of the California Emission Exemption section of this letter, and (2) a statement that the purchaser will indemnify Saturn for any losses sustained by it as a result of a claim or lawsuit in which it is alleged that Saturn has violated any California law or regulation in failing to equip the purchased vehicle with California Emission Requirements (YF5). Retailers should retain the bid specification in their files and send a copy to the West Area Office.
C. Verification of Appropriate Emission Certification
All Sales Consultants should be instructed to inform customers that only CALIFORNIA EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (YF5) equipped vehicles may be sold or offered for sale to California residents, or primarily used or registered in California. Similarly, all Sales Consultants should be instructed to inform customers that only passenger cars equipped with NEW YORK EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (NG1) may be sold or offered for sale to New York residents, or primarily used or registered in New York. Furthermore, customers in Federal states may be sold or offered for sale only those vehicles conforming to FEDERAL EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (FE9). with the exception of the EPA:s "place of sale" special policy as outline previously in this letter.
To aid the Retailer and purchasers in determining that all vehicles sold are eligible for use and registration in the state where the customer will register, title or use the vehicle, Saturn has placed emission certification identification on several labels on the vehicle as well as on the associated vehicle paper work. The Retailer should verify the vehicle's emission system in at least one of the following ways:
1) The Consumer Information Label (located next to the MSRP Label) identifies the vehicle emission certification in the Emission Certification Information Section (first statement on the label). One of the following statements will appear in this section of the Consumer Information Label:
This vehicle is certified to CALIFORNIA or NEW YORK EMISSION REQUIREMENTS. It is not legal for primary use or registration in states with Federal emission requirements, unless sold in CA, AZ, NV, OR, NY, NJ, PA, CT, VT or MA.
This vehicle is certified to FEDERAL EMISSION REQUIREMENTS. It is not legal for primary use or registration in states with California emission requirements (CA, NY).
This vehicle is certified to NATIONWIDE EMISSION REQUIREMENTS. It is legal for primary use and registration in all 50 states.
See Attachment 4 for a sample Consumer Information Label.
2) The under hood Emission Control System Information Label (tune-up label) contains an emission conformity statement. See Attachment X and X for a sample label and correct conformity statements.
3) The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label will have either YF5, NG1, or FE9 printed on it. The SPID can be found on the spare tire cover. See Attachment 5 for a sample SPID label.
4) The vehicle's emission configuration will also appear on the Retailer invoice. See Attachment 6 for a sample Retailer invoice.
5) One of the following statements will appear on the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO).
This vehicle has a California Emission System.
This vehicle has a Federal Emission System.
This vehicle has a 50-State Emission System.
A vehicle equipped with NEW YORK EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (NG1) will have the "This vehicle has a California stem" on the MSO emission statement. Retailers should be aware that this is a correct statement when registering a new vehicle with the New York Department of Motor Vehicles. See Attachment 7 for a sample MSO.
6) The order confirmation will specifically state the emission configuration following the CALIFORNIA EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (YF5). NEW YORK EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (NG1) OR FEDERAL EMISSION REQUIREMENTS (FE9) emission merchandising order option, respectively.
If any labels or documentation are inconsistent with one another, immediately contact your Saturn Area Office or the Saturn Retail Support Center (1-800-828-2112, prompt 7, then prompt 3).
VII. Procedures for the sale of Emission Control Identification (Tune-UP) Labels
The California DMV has implemented a $300 "smog impact' fee which is required to be paid at the time of initial registration of any vehicle not certified for California emission requirements. The new fee has created a demand for California emission (tune-up) labels by persons who hope to avoid payment of the fee by placing labels on vehicles not certified for California emission requirements.
The CARB conducted a survey which indicated that many dealers willingly sell California tune-up labels over the parts counter without verifying that such labels are being used appropriately.
California law states that no person other than the manufacturer, or a person authorized by the manufacturer, shall install a vehicle emission control label on any motor vehicle. Persons found in violation of this provision are subject to a fine up to $5,000 and/or imprisonment for up to a year.
The CARB is seeking manufacturer and dealer assistance in preventing illegal applications of California tune-up labels. Saturn Retailers should determine that labels sold over the counter are being used to replace original labels that are defaced or damaged and are being installed only on vehicles certified for California emission requirements. The following procedure is recommended by Saturn:
a) Check the Service Parts Identification Label, referred to previously and shown in Attachment 5. to confirm that the vehicle was built for California emission requirements. If so, the label will list either YF5, NB2, NB6 or NG 1.
b) Inspect the vehicle to ensure that the old label requires replacement.
c) Sell the label with the requirement that it be installed by the retail facility and that such label is, in fact, installed by the retail facility.
It has been reported that the CARB intends to initiate vigorous enforcement against any retail facility found to be engaging in fraudulent activities involving tune-up labels.
VIII. California Registration/Recall Renewal Program
The CARB and California DMV have implemented a Registration/Recall Renewal program which will enable a vehicle owner to renew their vehicle registration only after any pending emission recalls have been performed. In the event that an emissions recall is performed on any Saturn vehicle by your service department, a Proof of Correction form, should be completed and presented to the vehicle owner (see Attachment 8 for a sample Emission Recall Proof of Correction form). Extra Proof of Correction forms are available from your Saturn Area Office. The completed form will enable the vehicle owner to register their vehicle when the DMV's computer database issues a "stop" for the registration renewal of their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). All concerned retail facility personnel should be made aware of this program.
IX. Conclusion
This information has been communicated in the interest of assisting Retailers and customers. Should Saturn become aware that a Retailer or Retailers are not adhering to these practices, Saturn will, consistent with its responsibility to comply with California, New York and Federal laws, impose distribution practice whereby vehicles are distributed only to Retailers in a location for which the vehicle is eligible for use or registration.
Questions regarding the information contained in this letter should be directed to your Saturn Area Office.
If you have any questions regarding your responsibility under U.S. EPA, California and New York emission regulations applicable to the sale, use and registration of new 1994 model year Saturn vehicles. you should consult with your attorney.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
