Emission confusion/Honda Care
 

I'm in the midst of confusion to buy or not to buy the honda care. First of, what's my car emission rating, SULEV or AT-PZEV ? The warranty lists CA-SULEV and CA-PZEV, yet since I'm in cali, my car should be one of them. I checked under the hood, it has no word with PZEV, but on the back windows, there are AT-PZEV stickers ? Which one is correct ?

I hope falls under PZEV with emission parts guaranteed for 15yr/150K miles and I may not want to buy honda care if that's the case. What's your opinion ?

Hi Aha:

___You will not see AT-PZEV under the hood but may see SULEV on the plastic cover. Since you purchased the HCH in CA. and you drive it principally in CA., your emissions warranty is 15 year/150,000 miles. That warranty covers much of the Hybrid drivetrain (not all) including the battery pack.

___Good Luck

Thanks for the reply. Even the salesman told me the IMA battery is covered 8/80K so he's wrong, then.
Anyway, since most of the emission parts are covered 15/150K, I guess the most beneficial coverage for the honda care is for the CVT, right ? I guess I'd better spend $1000 for the 8/120K coverage ;)
