HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSOR WITH
INTEGRATED OIL SEPARATOR
High efficiency compressor with integrated oil sepa-
rator has been adopted to enhance fuel economy by
reducing the A/C operating rate.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH WITH THERMAL
FUSE
At the compressor lock, the thermal fuse integrated
in the magnet clutch is blown due to the frictional
heat against the compressor in order to reduce risk
of the drive belt breakage. The thermal fuse, together
with the coil, is coated with resin to enhance resis
-
tance to corrosion.
2-STEP PROFILE COMPRESSOR
The centre area of the scroll in the compressor pro-
vides 2-step profile, and thickness of area "B" shown
in the figure has been increased to enhance
strength. With this feature, thickness of area "A"
shown where lesser load is applied is reduced, thus
compressor performance is enhanced by compress
-
ing refrigerant even in central area, comparing to the
previous model.
CONDENSERM2551001400140
The condenser has been integrated with the radiator (cooling
module) to optimise ventilation and reduce weight.

•The interiors are fully covered by trims.
•The energy absorption rib molding located in the
back side of the front pillar trim and the rear pillar
trim protect head from side impacts and the resin
materials for the trims are unbreakable materials.
•Use of nonflammable materials for the trims has
increased safety as outstanding interiors. Also,
material codes are indicated to deal with recy
-
cling easily.

CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-7
BRAKE PEDALM2350007000422
The brake pedal retreat suppression mechanism that
restraints the retraction of the brake pedal surface
during a frontal collision has been adopted in order to
reduce the shock to the driver's feet.When the brake booster is crushed rearward by the
engine retreat during a frontal collision, the installa
-
tion surface of the brake pedal is retreated. In this
case, the end of the pedal support is forcibly slid
down and back by the interference with the slope
mounted on the front deck crossmember assembly.
At the same time, the linkage comprised of the pedal
support, pedal arm, and push rod moves the brake
pedal pad surface forward.
