The A TF warme r (A TF cooler) is adop ted for the
mode ls with 4A9 en gine. (the A TF cooler incorporat
-
ing the radiator is no t adopted)
At the start of runn ing, the tempe rature of th e engine
coolant rises earlier tha n that of the AT F. The A TF
war mer ut ilizes this ch aracteristic to raise the ATF
tempe rature a s ea rly a s po ssible to an a ppropriate
leve l (70
−80 °C). It also co ntrols flu id tempera ture st
ably and reduces A TF agitation resist ance to
imp rove f uel consump tion ra tio.
In addition , a thermo-valve has bee n adopted to
restrict the eng ine coolant supply to the A TF warmer
(A TF coole r) until the engine co olant temperature
reach es th e appro priat e temperature when low tem
-
perature start in winter , giving the priority to th e heat-
ing performance .

IMPROVEMENT ON RECYCLING EFFICIENCY
ClassificationMain Components
Components made
of recycled
materialsChip materials produced during manufacturing process has been reused as the
following components: Door inside handle, bu mper, radiator grille, instrument panel,
door trims, or floor padding.
Waste materials produced by other i ndustries have been reused as the following
components: Engine oil level gauge, air filter casing, and sound absorbing materials
for dash panel
Components made
of materials which
can be easily
recycledThermoplastic resin has been utilised as the following components: Inside door
handle, bumper, radiator grille, instrument panel, door trim
Thermoplastic resin has been utilised as t he following components: Vacuum hose for
engine control, air intake hose, hood weather strip, tailgate opening weather strip
REDUCTION OF MATERIAL BURDEN ON ENVIRONMENT
ItemMain Components
Elimination of
environmental
burden materialsLead-free materials have been utilised as the following components: Radiator, fuel
tank, power steering oil pressure hose, el ectrodeposition paint for body, glass ceramic
print, heater core, battery terminals, wiring harness
Non-asbestos material has been used for engine gaskets.
PVC(polyvinyl chloride)-free materials ha ve been used for the waterproofing film.
Prevention of
ozone depletionAir conditioner filled with new refrigerant (HFC 134a) has been installed.
Prevention of air
pollutionEmployment of a metal cylinder head gasket reduces the volume of incomplete
combustion generated between the cylinder block and cylinder head, and suppresses
the level of unburned hydrocarbon (HC).

MULTI USE TESTER-III (M.U.T.-III) SUB
ASSEMBLY
Comprehensive improvements have been made to
the M.U.T.-II, a tester for diagnosing problems with
the electronic control system. For easier servicing,
the newly developed M.U.T.-III has greatly improved
functions and is much easier to use. The M.U.T.-III
expands the functions of the M.U.T.-II in the following
ways:
1.CAN* bus diagnosis
•Auto diagnosis function for the CAN commu-
nications bus line is added.
NOTE: *CAN: Controller Area Network (for further
details, refer to GROUP 54C
P.54C-2).

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLING14-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2140000100638
The cooling system is a water-cooled pressurized,
forced circulation type which offers the following fea
-
tures:
•To stabilize engine coolant temperature, the ther-
mostat is located at the coolant inlet port from the
radiator.
•To improve engine cooling performance and save
weight, a plastic radiator tank and aluminium radi
-
ator fins are used.
•In order to save the weight, the A/C condenser
fan has been abolished, and one-fan system has
been adopted to secure sufficient cooling effect
using the radiator fan only.
•A radiator condenser tank integrated with a radia-
tor has been adopted in order to save the weight.
•A cross flow type radiator assembly whose tanks
are installed on the both sides of the radiator fins
has been adopted in order to decrease the over
-
all height of the radiator and improve the aerody-
namic performance.
•Sufficient radiator fin area and cooling fan diame-
ter are secured, and the radiator fin pitch is
increased. As a result, the capacity of the cooling
fan motor is reduced cutting down the power con
-
sumption, and the noise and weight of the cooling
fan are reduced.
