Automobiles are one of the main pollutants in our society today and many steps have been taken to reduce the carbon footprint of cars.That is why most countries in the world have a government-approved air emission test. If you are a personal car owner, you must know how to pass this test.

Steps

1. 1 Take constant care of your car. Change oil and filters regularly according to generally accepted recommendations.
   • If you are a passive car owner and wait until car problems become apparent, chances are you will not pass the Emission Test. Many vehicles work well, even though they are no longer required to operate by law.
2. 2 Schedule a vehicle inspection. Unless you are a fan of the automotive industry, chances are you will not know all the nuances of the car. Have a mechanic check your car to check anything you might have missed.
3. 3 Make sure the check engine signal is off. If it is lit, you will not automatically pass the air emission test. If you are not sure what the problem is, the repair shop can diagnose and fix the problem.
4. 4 Inflate your tires. Correct tire pressure reduces the load on the vehicle's engine, which will improve your chances of passing the test.
5. 5 Change engine oil. If you have not changed the oil after driving 10,000 km, then this must be done. If you've changed your oil not too long ago, you can still do it again.
6. 6 Warm up the vehicle before testing. Warm up the vehicle for at least 20 minutes before heading off for testing. This will give your vehicle enough time to reach the optimum coolant and oil temperatures and the optimum catalytic converter pressure.

Tips

• Do not test in wet weather. Humidity and rain can affect the car's temperature, causing it to run suboptimally. It is possible to take the test on a rainy day, but it will be more difficult.
• Do not get tested if your vehicle is not functioning properly. A car that looks okay may still fail the test, but a car with a malfunction has no chance of passing the test at all.
• Use fuel additives to reduce emissions. Additives are usually poured into the gas tank when refueling at the station. They help to clean the internal system of the vehicle, which allows for more efficient use of fuel and improves the overall performance of the engine.
