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 />
