Operating Elements
The clutch "release" system consists of the clutch pedal and clutch release cylinder.
This system directly releases the clutch by using hydraulic pressure while the conventional clutch system
releases the clutch by using release lever and release fork. This system provides higher efficiency than
conventional clutch system, and its durability is superior.
Clutch master cylinder (mounted on clutch pedal)
Concentric slave cylinder pipe (mounted inside of transmission) -
-Driving elements
The driving elements consist of two flat surfaces machined to a smooth finish.
One of these is the rear face of the engine flywheel and the other is the clutch pressure plate. The clutch
pressure plate is fitted into a clutch steel cover, which is bolted to the flywheel.
Driven elements
The driven element is the clutch disc with a splined hub which is free to slide lengthwise along the splines
of the input shaft.
The driving and driven elements are held in contact by spring pressure. This pressure is exerted by a
diaphragm spring in the clutch cover pressure plate assembly.

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 -

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.

3. REAR AXLE
The rear axle installed in this car is a removable axle, called IRDA (Independent Rear Differential Axle).
The rear differential carrier is installed directly on the sub frame,
and there is an independent suspension that allows each wheel on the same axle to move vertically and
independently of each other with the universal joint and the slip joint.

1) Front Suspension (Macperson Strut Type)
Front suspension supports the vehicle weight and absorber the vibration from tires. And, in this type of
suspension, the steering linkage tie rod is mounted on the knuckle.
Macperson strut type suspension is the independent suspension which has the spring on the strut
integrated with shock absorber. The lower arm is installed on sub frame and large strut damper is
installed on the knuckle to support the tire. This type of suspension is normally applied to the vehicle with
monocoque body, especially on the front wheel drive type. The upper part with spring is mounted at
body mount and the strut with shock absorber is linked on the steering knuckle.
Advantages
Compact and simple design
Stable wheel alignment
Good load distribution and easy installation
Less effect from tire up/down movement 1.

1. OVERVIEW
The AWD system in this vehicle is the electronic 4WD system and controls the traction to rear wheels
according to the driving conditions.
1) Driving Mode
(1) AUTO mode (Normal driving mode)
Normally the vehicle is in 2WD mode.
Automatically change to this mode when the vehicle needs higher traction.
(2) LOCK mode (when pressing 4WD LOCK switch)
This mode provides the highest traction. Use
this mode when driving on unpaved, rugged,
steep, sandy, wet or slippery roads.
In 4WD LOCK mode, if the rear wheel speed
exceeds 40 km/h, 4WD LOCK mode is
canceled and 4WD AUTO mode is activated
(Indicator OFF). If the speed is decreased
below 35 km/h, 4WD LOCK mode is resumed
(Indicator ON again). -

2. SYSTEM LAYOUT
1) Components
(1) PTU (Power Transfer Unit)
and transfer it to E-coupling to distribute the torque to rear wheels.
(2) E-Coupling (Electronic Coupling)
E-Coupling transfer the engine torque from PTU to rear axle and controls to distribute it between front
wheels and rear wheels.
(3) E-Coupling Control Unit (ECU)
E-Coupling controls the current (clutch engagement force) of EMCD in E-Coupling according to CAN
signals (wheel speed, engine torque, pedal position, ABS/ESP signals).
