Emissions controls are a catalyzed muffler, AIR Injection system, and an evaporative fuel canister. The brakes are a 180 mm (7.1 in) single disc front brake and a 110 mm drum rear brake. The tires are 3.50x10.

The Vino has a very similar counterpart in Thailand, called Fino, which looks almost identical.
