Renault DCS exhaust emission control system uses a double barrel carburetor with vacuum controlled progressive linkage, distributor with a special centrifugal advance curve, retarded ignition timing and engine modifications. Engine modifications include pistons with reduced top clearance, special head and intake manifold with separate ports. Carburetor uses an accelerated idle system that operates upon deceleration and contains a vacuum diaphragm unit, solenoid valve, RPM switch, neutral switch and vacuum controlled progressive linkage. All these units combine to reduce amount of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons.
