ALLDATA Provides Complete Vehicle Emissions Information

ELK GROVE, Calif., March 26 ALLDATA, the worldwide market leader in computer-based automotive repair information and software solutions for automotive service providers, announced today the release of its early-model vehicle emissions information on a CD-ROM. With the ALLDATA Emissions CD, repair facilities that are current ALLDATA customers have everything they need to meet California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) standards for emissions information.

``We've always included 1982 to present-year emissions information as part of our comprehensive diagnostic and repair information system,'' said Jeffery Lagges, VP and General Manager of ALLDATA. ``Now, with the Emissions CD supplement, we provide convenient access to all the information our customers need for complete BAR compliance.''

The CD, available at an introductory price to ALLDATA® Online, DVD and CD subscribers, is easier to use, maintain and store than manuals. Information on the CD includes expanded Year, Make, Model and Engine coverage for 1966-1981 vehicles, supplementing the ALLDATA diagnostic and repair information that covers 1982 to present-year vehicles.

Other information provided on the CD includes OEM vacuum diagrams; basic theory of operation articles; component locations with removal and installation procedures; emissions applications; service, adjustment and on- vehicle specifications; system and component testing procedures; online help screens; complete instructions for resolving equipment conflicts for vehicles and extensive Technical Service Bulletin selection
