DOOR SPEAKER
NOTE: The parts with "*" are installed exclusively to 
the vehicles with Rockford Fosgate
® premium sound 
system.
For the front door speaker, two types of speakers, 16 
cm paper cone speaker 
available. For the rear door speaker, two types of 
speakers, 16 cm paper cone speaker 
cone 2-way coaxial speaker 
ers (Rockford Fosgate® premium sound system)>, 
are available. Compared to the paper cone speakers, 
the PP (polypropylene) cone speakers can playback 
crisper bass. The door opening of the vehicles with 9 
speaker (Rockford Fosgate
® premium sound sys-
tem) is blocked by using the sheet metal cover and 
the urethane integrated resin sheet (resin cover and 
water proof film) to make the door into a speaker 
box, thus improving the sound quality. As an advan
-
tage of the sheet metal cover, the rigidity of the areas 
around the speaker has been increased, and the 
higher sound pressure, suppression of high har
-
monic, and suppression of dumping are achieved to 
improve sound quality.
The one-touch installable speaker (with 3 tabs, fixed 
by rotating) has been adopted to improve service
-
ability.

HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
HEATER, AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION55-5
The following new unit integrated blower, heater and 
evaporator to increase the air flow, reduce noise, and 
enhanced cooler and heater performance;:
•Integrated heater/cooling unit has been adopted 
for large air flows and low noise.
•Crushable space has been secured to reduce the 
risk of passenger injuries.
•Air mix damper that is also used as a reheating 
prevention damper has been adopted to enhance 
the air cooling performance.
•The A/C condensate water outlet (drain port) has 
been installed to behind the evaporator to 
restrain the clogging of drain by foreign materials.
•The outlet air temperature of the defroster has 
been set lower than that of foot to prevent over
-
heating the driver’s face.
•Fin thermo sensor to directly measure evaporator 
temperature reduces occurrence risk of an evap
-
orator freeze which will lead to the compressor 
lock.
•Clean air filter has been introduced as standard 
to protect the unit from the intrusion of foreign 
materials (fallen leaves and others). and, it 
removes the pollen and dust, and enhances the 
air quality inside the passenger compartment.
•Clean air filter media and cover have been sepa-
rated to reduce the waste material amount gener-
ated during the filter replacement. 
•The installation position of clean air filter has 
been set to the backside of glove box to facilitate 
the filter replacement operation. And, the 
one-touch tab structure has been adopted for the 
cover installation to enable the replacement oper
-
ation without tools.

CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEMM2171000400129
A blow-by gas reduction device prevents blow-by 
gas from being expelled into the atmosphere and is 
of closed type. A positive crankcase ventilation 
(PCV) valve is provided in the ventilation hose from 
the rocker cover to the intake manifold. During low 
load driving, clean air is supplied to the crankcase by 
the air intake hose via the breather hose and rocker 
cover, and it mixes with the blow-by gas in the crank
-
case. The blow-by gas in the crankcase is induced to 
the intake manifold through the rocker cover and 
PCV valve. During high load driving, blow-by gas in 
the crankcase is induced to the intake manifold 
through the rocker cover and PCV valve and at the 
same time also via the air intake hose and throttle 
body due to negative pressure in the air cleaner.

It facilitates oxidation of CO and HC and

are cleaned simultaneously.
Monolith catalyst
HC trap

converter 
During cold operation of engine, exhaust HC is 
temporarily absorbed. And then Exhaust HC is 
released when temperature reaches to level at 
which catalyst is activated. This allows HC to be 
reduced.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMM2171000200147
HC (hydrocarbon) generated in the fuel tank are 
adsorbed by the active carbon in the canister and 
stored. HC stored in the canister is introduced to the 
intake manifold when engine is in operation where it 
is mixed with intake air and combusted. ECM intro
-
duces optimum HC amount according to driving con-
ditions and so performs duty control on the 
evaporative emission purge solenoid. Also, the evap
-
orative emission purge solenoid is closed during 
deceleration or immediately after engine start to 
restrict change in air-fuel ratio and prevent engine 
from stalling.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
An evaporative emission purge solenoid is installed in the 
intake manifold.The evaporative emission purge solenoid con
-
trols the intake volume of fuel vapor gas from the canister. The 
evaporative emission purge solenoid is a duty control type 
solenoid valve. When current is not passing through the coil, 
nipple A is kept airtight and fuel vapor gas cannot be sucked in. 
When current passes through the coil, air can pass between 
nipple A and B and fuel vapor gas is sucked in. ECM changes 
the ON duty ratio according to engine's operating condition to 
control the intake volume of fuel vapor gas.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM 
When the combustion gas temperature becomes 
high, generation of the environment polluting NOx 
(nitrogen oxides) increases rapidly. EGR system is 
used to decrease the volume of NOx generated. 
EGR system re-circulates exhaust gas inside the 
intake manifold. It increases specific heat of the com
-
bustion gases and reduces combustion speed to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the 
volume of NOx generated. ECM calculates the EGR 
introduction volume according to engine operating 
conditions and controls the EGR valve opening angle 
at optimum. Also, immediately after the ignition 
switch ON signal is input, it drives fully closed step
-
per motor and performs initialization.

These decrease CO, HC and NOx in the exhaust 
gases and consist of air-fuel ratio feedback control 
and catalytic converter.
1. AIR-FUEL RATIO FEEDBACK CONTROL
Refer to GROUP 13A − Fuel Injection Control P.13A-29.
2. CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Catalytic converter is installed in the center of exhaust pipe 
below the floor and in the front of exhaust pipe 
Based on appropriate air-fuel ratio feedback from oxygen sen
-
sor, CO and HC are oxidized and NOx is reduced. Catalytic 
converter is a monolith with beehive design with catalysts on 
the unit surface. It is protected by a thermally insulating mat 
and enclosed in a shell.
3. HC TRAP CATALYTIC CONVERTER 
The HC trap catalytic converter is installed in the center of 
exhaust pipe below the floor. The HC trap catalytic converter 
consists of the HC trap catalyst and the three-way catalysts, 
which are the monolith type; the catalyst element is attached to 
the honeycomb catalyst surface. The HC trap catalyst and the 
three-way catalysts are held by the heat-insulating mat and 
installed in the shell. The HC trap catalyst temporarily absorbs 
the exhaust HC from the engine within the temperature range 
in which the three-way catalyst is not activated, and prevents 
the exhaust HC from releasing outside the vehicle. After that, 
the HC trap catalyst temperature rises and releases the 
absorbed HC. The released HC is burnt out in the downstream 
three-way catalyst.
