Translate the following paragraphs:

1. Your cars emission system keeps the engine running cleanly
and efficiently in all sorts of operating conditions. A steady
or flashing warning light on your vehicle dashboard indicates
a problem that is currently happening and may require
immediate attention. Failure to do so can reduce your gas
mileage or cause your vehicle to pollute.
Your cars emission system controls the emissions, exhaust
and pollutants (including gasoline vapors escaping from the
fuel tank), using an array of sensors, computerized engine
controls and the exhaust components. The emission system
substantially reduces harmful gases such as carbon
monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) and, by law, must be maintained in operating
condition.
2. The engine cooling system affects your cars overall
dependability and engine longevity. Cooling systems have
advanced over the years with new coolant formulations and
new radiator designs and materials. If you suspect a problem
with your cooling system, you should check it immediately.
The key parts of the cooling system remove heat from the
engine and automatic transmission and dissipate heat to the
air outside. The water pump circulates coolant through the
engine. The coolant absorbs heat and returns it to the
radiator where heat is dissipated. The thermostat regulates
the coolant temperature to keep it consistent for efficient
engine operation.
