3. DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL (DMF)
The dual mass flywheel (DMF) is of having a mass divided into two halves.
While one mass is connected to the engine crankshaft, which is affected by the mass moment of
inertia of the engine, the other mass is affected by one of the transmission.
The divided dual masses are connected to the coil spring and damping system internally.
The DMF has the following benefits: ▶
Reducing fuel consumption by lowering engine speed
Reducing rattling noise and vehicle vibration in all driving ranges
Reducing synchronization wear
Facilitating gear change
Protecting power train parts by preventing excessive load from being delivered -

1. OVERVIEW
By using the planetary gear sets, two-gears shift type part time transfer case achieves direct
connection when selecting 4WD "HIGH" and 2.48 of reduction gear ratio when selecting 4WD
"LOW". The silent chain in transfer case transfers the output power to front wheels.
The simple operation of switches on instrument panel allows to shift between "2H" and "4H" easily
while driving (for 4L: stop vehicle first). The warning lamp warns the driver when the system is
defective.

Description Mode Conditions
Driving
mode2H 2 Wheel drive
(rear wheel)Rear-wheel drive mode. This is used under
normal or high-speed driving conditions on
public roads or highways.
4H 4 Wheel drive
(high speed)This is used under sandy, muddy or snow-
covered road conditions
4L 4 Wheel drive
(low speed)This is used for maximum traction.
When cornering with low speed in 4WD
condition, there could be tire dragging, some
mechanical shocks and resistances in
vehicle’s drive train. These are normal
conditions due to internal resistance in the
drive train when the 4WD system is properly
working

For Manual Transmission:
Stop the vehicle on level ground and
move the gear selector lever into the
“N” position. Turn the switch to the
desired position. ·
Stop the vehicle on level ground and
move the gear selector lever into the
“N” position. Then turn the switch to
the desired position while depressing
the clutch pedal. ·
To make the mode change easily, stop
the vehicle on level ground and turn the
mode switch to the desired position and
move the shift lever to "N"-"R"-"N" while
depressing the brake pedal.

4. IWE LOCKING HUB SYSTEM
1) Overview
The vacuum locking hub uses the IWE (Integrated Wheel End) system, and in this system, the
vacuum is generated only within the hub actuator.
It is structured to transmit power to the front section after the actuator hub is engaged following
the release of vacuum from the drive shaft end gear and the hub end gear
