GENERAL INFORMATION
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)52B-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2521000100819
•The driver’s and front passenger’s air bags and
seat belts with pre-tensioner are standard
equipped on all vehicles.
•To improve safety against side impact collisions,
optional side-airbags and curtain air bags are
available to all the models.
•An inflator that does not contain sodium azide is
adopted for all types of the air bag modules.
SRS FRONT AIR BAG
The SRS is designed to supplement the front seat
belts. It reduces injury to the front passenger(s) by
deploying air bag(s) in case of a frontal collision.
SRS SIDE-AIRBAG
Side-airbag systems in the front seats are activated
when side collision applied to the vehicle exceed cri
-
teria to protect the occupants’ upper bodies.
SRS CURTAIN AIR BAG
The curtain air bag systems are activated when side
collision applied to the vehicle exceed criteria, to pro
-
tect the heads of the occupants in the front and rear
seats.
SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER
The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simultane-
ously with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up seat
belt slack immediately when a collision takes place,
restraining the front passengers sooner than the
SRS. This prevents the passengers from moving for
-
ward.

FUEL TANK
FUEL SUPPLY13C-4
•A resin coating is treated on the underfloor fuel
line pipes, improving reliability.
•A fuel tank pump with low power consumption
has been adopted to reduce the alternator load.
•A plastic tank pump and gauge assembly is used
to reduce weight.
•The fuel line tube and fuel line hose are made of
the material, which does not allow fuel vapour to
pass through it as much as possible, so that the
vapour gas emission to the air is reduced.
FUEL TANK
M2134001000442
The fuel tank assembly consists of components such
as a fuel tank pump and gauge assembly, a fuel
high-pressure hose, a fuel tank hose, and a fuel tank,
and has the following features:
•The fuel tank is located underneath the rear seats
to improve safety at a collision.
•The fuel tank itself is made of a pre-coat galva-
nized steel sheet that contains no lead.
•The fuel tank pump is housed in the fuel tank to
improve collision safety.
•A fuel tank safety valve, which prevents fuel leak-
age when the vehicle banks or rolls over, is
located inside the fuel tank pump and gauge
assembly.
•The fuel high-pressure hose and fuel tank hose
are made of the material, which does not allow
fuel vapour to pass through it as much as possi
-
ble.
The fuel tank pump and gauge assembly consist of
the following components:
•Fuel tank pump
•Fuel tank gauge unit
•Fuel tank filter assembly
•Fuel pump pressure regulator <4A9>
•Fuel tank safety valve
•Fuel tank 2-way valve

•A smart shift type selector lever has been
adopted in order to facilitate walkthrough
between the seats.
•A gun grip type selector lever knob has been
adopted for better operation and easier visual
recognition of the switches arranged in the centre
panel.
•The selector lever assembly has been a single
unit made by aluminium die casting for better
accuracy and fewer parts, resulting in the light
-
weight and compact structure.
•The selector lever has been designed to be com-
pact and appropriately configured not to interfere
with the energy absorbing mechanism on the
steering column upon impact of the vehicle.
•In order to prevent abrupt start by erroneous
operation of selector lever, a CVT erroneous
operation prevention mechanism (the shiftlock
mechanism and key interlock mechanism) has
been adopted.
