AIR DUCT AND AIR CLEANERM2150004000656
A front air intake system that actively sucks cooling
air from the front through the top of the radiator has
been adopted in order to improve engine perfor
-
mance and reduce air intake noise.

EXHAUST MANIFOLDM2150006000566
A clamshell type exhaust manifold is used.
A SUS pipe type exhaust manifold is used.
EXHAUST PIPE AND MUFFLERM2150003000783
The exhaust system is composed of the front
exhaust pipe, center exhaust pipe, and main muffler,
and it has the following characteristics.•Fewer, more environmentally-friendly rubber
hangers to reduce vibration from exhaust system.
•Straighter exhaust pipe to reduce noise.

FUEL TANK
FUEL SUPPLY13B-3
FUEL TANKM2134001000817.The fuel tank assembly consists of the fuel pump
module, the fuel tank, and so on, and features the
following characteristics:
•The fuel tank is mounted underneath the second
seat to improve safety at a collision.
•The fuel tank itself is made of a pre-coat zinc
alloy galvanised steel sheet that contains no
lead.
•The capacity of the fuel tank is 59 dm3 (15.5 gal)
to meet long-distance drives.
•The fuel cut-off valve, fuel tank leveling valve and
fuel tube have been installed using in-tank con
-
struction to reduce the amount of evaporated fuel
from hoses.
The fuel pump module consists of the following com-
ponents:
•Fuel pump
•Fuel level sensor
•Fuel filter
•Fuel pump pressure regulator
•Fuel tank differential pressure sensor
•Fuel tank temperature sensor

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONM2132000101283
Although the control systems are basically the same as those of 2.4L engine used in the GALANT, the follow-
ing improvements have been added.
Improvement / AdditionsRemark
MIVEC, continuously and variably control the intake
valve timing and exhaust valve timing, is used.System optimally control the timing of the intake
valve and exhaust valve in accordance with the
engine speed and load.
Addition of heated oxygen sensor (3rd)
Detection of the HC trap catalyst malfunction.
