CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
The pulley is made of cast iron.
The pulley portion has grooves for the V-ribbed belt
(with 6 crests).
The flange portion of the pulley has a timing mark
notch for checking the ignition timing.
A torsion damper has been adopted to reduce the
torsional vibration of the crankshaft, as well as to
dramatically reduce noise and vibration in the
high-speed range.
DRIVE PLATE
The drive plate is made of sheet metal.The drive plate is mounted with 7 bolts.

FLYWHEEL
A cast iron ring gear is a shrink fit in the iron casting
of the flywheel.
The flywheel is mounted with 7 bolts.
TIMING CHAIN TRAIN
The two camshafts are driven by the timing chain via
the camshaft sprockets.
The timing chain is a silent, endless type, consisting
of 180 links. It is installed around the V.V.T. sprockets
and the crankshaft sprocket.
Three (orange) mark link plates are installed on the
timing chain to locate the sprockets.

ACTUATOR
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-24
THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR
A throttle actuator control motor is installed in throttle body. The
throttle actuator control motor performs the Open/Close of the
throttle valve through the reduction gear. ECM changes current
direction according to the Open/Close direction and also
changes current to the motor coil to control the throttle actuator
control motor.
Throttle actuator control motor is composed of a good
response, low energy, and small DC motor with brush and can
generate rotation force corresponding to the current applied on
the coil. When there is no current passing through the throttle
actuator control motor, the throttle valve remains at a pre
-
scribed opening angle. So, even if current stops because of a
fault in the system, a minimum level of running remains possi
-
ble.

FEATURES
A hydraulic power steering system has been adopted
to all models.
This steering system offers the following features:
•The support method of the steering gear to the
crossmember is realised by the left and right
internal bushings with inner cylinders. This sup
-
port method achieves higher rigidity of the steer-
ing gear and improves the steering feeling.
•Configuring the optimum flow characteristics and
gear valve feature improves the handling stability.
•Appropriate application of friction to the steering
gear cuts off the disturbance from the road sur
-
face and improves the stability during the
straight-ahead driving.
•Optimisation of the flexible tube in the high pres-
sure hose reduces the pump noise.

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM
STEERING WHEELM2370001000761
The steering wheel is designed to improve operabil-
ity, safety and maintainability and has the following
features:
•Newly designed Three-spoke type has been
adopted. For DE and ES, the steering wheel
made of urethane has been adopted. For GTS,
the steering wheel made of genuine leather has
been adopted.
•Audio remote control, voice control, and cruise
control switches are available on some models.
•Sporty and thick type grip shape has been
adopted.
•Rigid core metal reduces steering wheel vibra-
tion.
•It incorporates an SRS airbag to protect the driver
in the event of a frontal collision.
•The airbag module is equipped with an inflator
that does not contain sodium azide.
•Optimisation of the airbag specifications reduces
the risk of injury to the passengers in a collision.

IMPACT-ABSORBING MECHANISM
.
Primary collision
If the vehicle is involved in a crash and impact energy is trans-
mitted to the lower shaft from the gearbox side, the intermedi-
ate shaft (A) will be pushed into intermediate shaft (B) to
absorb impact energy. Thus, the steering column will not be
projected into the passenger compartment.
