Due to over-enrichment of the mixture in the cold<br />

starting phase, an increased level of unburned<br />

hydrocarbons occurs in the exhaust gas.<br />

Secondary air injection improves postoxidation in<br />

the catalytic converter and reduces pollutant<br />

emission.<br />

The heat released as a result of postoxidation<br />

shortens the response time of the catalytic converter<br />

considerably, with the result that emission<br />

quality improves greatly.<br />
