Volkswagen made and installed a software program that made emissions controls turn on only when doing laboratory emissions testing. The software made the cars' nitrogen oxide output meet US standards during testing, but when driving in the real world it would emit up to 40 times more nitrogen oxide.[89] It was violating different countries' emissions rules.[90]
