In a 2012 Chevy Captiva, you can locate the purge valve in the engine compartment on the passenger side near the firewall. It is identifiable by the tubing connected to it and its placement against the firewall. The purpose of the purge valve is to redirect excess gases from the vehicle's emissions system back into the engine. These gases are then burned off in the engine, helping to eliminate contaminants before they are expelled through the exhaust. If there is an issue with the purge valve, a check engine light on the dashboard will alert you to replace it.
