Ordering of Emissions Type: The following emissions options will be used for the 1995 model year. Note that vehicle orders will automatically be generated with an emission type compatible with the retail facility preference.
EMISSION - FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS (FE9). Use for ordering performance engine equipped vehicles (SC2, SL2, SW2) and base engine equipped vehicles (SCI, SL1, SW1) that will be registered in all states except California and Massachusetts.
