(1) The intake camshaft, exhaust camshaft, and the
oil pump are driven by a single timing belt.
(2) Timing belt tension varies at different engine
temperatures and ages of the belt. The autotensioner absorbs these changes in belt
ten+n,not only to prevent the noise problem
getting worse, but to improve durability as weli’l

by causing the tensioner arm to move back and

@I.The bottom figure shows the construction of the
aUt0 tensioner. The chambers on the right and leftof the piston
are filled with silicone oil.
Both the tensioner pulley and idler pulley are of the
ball bearing type into which grease has been
packed.

WHEN THE BELT TENSION HAS INCREASED
(1) The tensioner arm pushes the piston in the direction shown
by
arrow @, causing the hydraulic pressure in the pressurechamber to build up.
(2) The check ball closes.
(3) The oil inthepressure chamber is compressed by the
piston, which causes a small amount of oil to gradually leak
through the clearance between the piston and cylinder into
the reservoir chamber. This causes the piston to move
slowly in the direction shown by arrow
@.
(4) The piston stops moving when the load in the direction @balances the spring tension, which determines the load,
i.e., tension, applied to the belt.
WHEN THE BELT TENSION HAS DECREASED
(1) The piston moves in the direction shown by arrow @I by the
spring tension.
(2) As the piston moves, the hydraulic pressure in the pressure
chamber becomes lower than that in the reservoir cham-
ber.
(3) The check ball opens.
(41 Oil enters the pressure chamber.
(5) The piston stops moving when the belt tension balances
the spring tension, which determines the tension applied to
the belt.

. *the mounts, the principal axis of inertia support
system is employed.
This principal axis of inertia support system of
mounting functions to support the upper
part of the
engine and the upper part of the transaxle, thereby
effectively suppressing engine vibrations. Note that
there are the following features at the various
installation parts.
lThe transmission of engine vibration to the body
is reduced by the installation, via bushings, of
the centermember to the body.
lThe insulators each have a cavity that serves to
effectively absorb vibrations.

Cavity
CavityPRINCIPAL AXIS INERTIA SUPPORT SYSTEM
The vibrations generated from the engine and drive train
consist of such eiements as vertical vibrations caused by the
engine’s combustion processes, as well as
rollings caused by
the torque reaction force of the tyres and the crankshaft
rotation etc.
In order to effectively suppress these vibrations, the principal
axis of inertia support system, by which the components that
contact the principal axis of inertia are mounted, is employed.
INSULATORS
Absorption of Minute Vibrations
The minute vibrations that are generated during idling and
during driving are absorbed because the spring constant is low
as a result of the fact that insulator A only causes vibration of
the space within the cavity.
Absorption of Larger Vibrations
The larger vibrations that are generated during starting from a
_stop and during acceleration are absorbed because insulator A
and insulator
B contact, and the spring constant becomes high.
