1. OVERVIEW
The propeller shaft is a thin steel pipe which transfers the power from the transmission to the E-coupling,
and has high resistance to torsion and bending.
The propeller shaft has the universal joint (cross axle) mounted on the center of the shaft and splines for
the slip joint on the E-coupling side to accommodate the height and length changes which occur as the
shaft rotates at high speed.
And the rubber bushing for center bearing in the center of the propeller shaft keeps the balance of the
shaft and absorbs its vibration.
Function of propeller shaft
Transmits driving torque.
Accommodates the angle change (universal joint / CV joint).
Accommodates the axial length change (splines for the slip joint). -

2. TORQUE STEER
Torque steer is a condition in which a vehicle pulls to either side because of an inequality of traction
between the left and right driving wheels when a large torque is applied to the front wheel of a FWD or
4WD.
Especially for a FWD vehicle, this mechanical condition can cause the steering effect because of the
output torque (rotational force) produced by the gyroscope.
This rotational force is due to the difference in distance between the left/right front wheels and the
transaxle which leads to the change of the shaft bending angle.
To prevent this, the intermediate shaft, called Intermediate shaft, is employed on each side so that the
bending angle and the length are kept constant.
A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular
momentum. In essence, a mechanical gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to
take any orientation. Although this orientation does not remain fixed, it changes in response to an
external torque much less and in a different direction than it would without the large angular
momentum associated with the disk's high rate of spin and moment of inertia. Since external torque
is minimized by mounting the device in gimbals, its orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of
any motion of the platform on which it is mounted.

4. TPMS PRESSURE VALUE DISPLAYING PROCESS
The TPMS ECU receives the tire pressure value from the wheel module through the wireless
transmission once every about 30 seconds and displays the pressure value on the instrument cluster
through CAN line.
Under normal circumstances, it transmits the tire pressure value and temperature value together
with its ID (Identification) once every about 30 seconds to reduce the load on the wheel module's
battery. But, in the event of emergency or situation which should give a warning to the driver, it
transmits the data once every about 1 second. Since the battery consumption will be increased
rapidly until the data transmission interval will be returned to normal after certain length of time,
adjust the tire pressure to the specified one after rectifying the cause.
The tire pressure is displayed through the following sequences, which occur at the same
time.
Wheel module detection
(Auto learning)This is a step which receives an ID signal from the wheel module fitted
to the vehicle. When the wheel module sends the signal about twice
every 1 minute, each wheel module will be identified.
Wheel module mounting
location detection
(Auto location)The TPMS ECU check which wheel module is installed to which tire.

7) Mounting Location for Pretensioner
The seat belt pretensioner retracts the seat belt instantly by igniting the inflator in the pretensioner when
the front air bag system is activated. It also improves the safety effect of the seat belt by preventing the
front seat occupants from moving forward and keeping occupants in a stable posture.
The load limiter is also installed to reduce the chest impact to a front seat occupant by loosening the seat
belt while maintaining the force applied by the seat belt uniformly when the pretensioner retracts the seat
belt instantly. The seat belt pretensioner is operated first, and then the load limiter is activated.
Height adjuster
This feature improves
comfort and enhances
safety performance in the
event of a collision by
adjusting the shoulder belt
to the desired length to
restrain the occupant.
