perature so that the optimum air conditioner is
achieved.
•By the adoption of clean air filter, the air quality
inside the passenger compartment has been
enhanced.
.
ENHANCEMENTS IN OPERATION
PERFORMANCE
•Operability has been enhanced by the adoption
of large triple dial.
•Customise function has been added for the
enhanced convenience.
.
ENHANCEMENTS IN FUEL ECONOMY
•The high efficiency compressor with a 2-step pro-
file oil separator has been installed, thus enhanc-
ing the fuel economy.
•The idle-up speed is controlled in two steps to
secure the air cooling performance during sum
-
mer and to enhance the fuel economy in the sea-
sons with moderate temperature.
•Enhancement of fuel economy by the cooling fan
control depending on the refrigerant pressure and
vehicle speed.
.
ENHANCEMENT IN SAFETY
•A/C system is stopped when the air bags are
deployed.
•Crushable space has been adopted to heater unit
to reduce the risk of passenger injuries in case of
a collision.
.
GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
•New refrigerant system (HFC134a) has been
adopted.
•By the optimisation of A/C system, the refrigerant
charging amount has been reduced.
•Clean air filter media and its cover are separated
to reduce waste materials.
.
ENHANCEMENTS IN SERVICE QUALITY
•Reduction of refrigerant gas leakage and
enhancement in serviceability by incorporating
condenser and receiver
•Clean air filter is installed to the backside of glove
box to facilitate the filter replacement.
.
ENHANCEMENTS IN RESPONSIBILITY
Reliable information transmission is achieved by
connecting A/C-ECU and each ECU via CAN com
-
munication.

GENERAL INFORMATIONM2140000100780
The cooling system is a water-cooled pressurized,
forced circulation type which offers the following fea
-
tures.
•To stabilize engine coolant temperature, the ther-
mostat is located at the coolant inlet port from the
radiator.
•To improve engine cooling performance and save
weight, a plastic tank and aluminum radiator fins
are used.

THROTTLE VALVE OPENING ANGLE CONTROL AND IDLE SPEED CONTROL
MULTIPORT FUEL SYSTEM (MFI)13A-39
List of main compensations for throttle valve opening angle and idle speed control
Initialize control
After ignition switch turns OFF, ECM drives the throt-
tle valve from fully closed position to fully open posi-
tion and records the fully closed/open studied value
of the throttle position sensor (main and sub) output
signals. The recorded studied values are used as
studied value compensation for compensating basic
target opening angle when the engine is started next.
CompensationsContent
Stable idle compensation (immediately after start)In order to stabilize idle speed immediately after
start, target opening angle is kept big and then
gradually reduced. Compensation values are set
based on the engine coolant temperature.
Rotation speed feedback compensation (while
idling)In case there is a difference between the target idle
speed and actual engine speed, ECM
compensates the throttle valve opening angle
based on that difference.
Atmospheric pressure compensationAt high altitudes atmospheric pressure is less and
the intake air density is low. So, the target opening
angle is compensated based on atmospheric
pressure.
Engine coolant temperature compensationCompensation is made according to the engine
coolant temperature. The lower the engine coolant
temperature the greater the throttle valve opening
angle.
Electric load compensationThrottle valve opening angle is compensated
according to electric load. The greater the electric
load, the greater the throttle valve opening angle.
Compensation when shift is in D range
to some other range, throttle valve opening angle is
increased to prevent reduction in engine speed.
Compensation when A/C is functioningThrottle valve opening angle is compensated
according to functioning of A/C compressor. While
A/C compressor is being driven, the throttle valve
opening angle is increased.
Power steering fluid pressure compensationThrottle valve opening angle is compensated
according to power steering functioning. When
power steering oil pressure rises and power
steering pressure switch is ON, the throttle valve
opening angle is increased.
