HIGH EFFICIENCY COMPRESSOR WITH
INTEGRATED OIL SEPARATOR
High efficiency compressor with integrated oil sepa-
rator has been adopted to enhance fuel economy by
reducing the A/C operating rate.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH WITH THERMAL
FUSE
At the compressor lock, the thermal fuse integrated
in the magnet clutch is blown due to the frictional
heat against the compressor in order to reduce risk
of the drive belt breakage. The thermal fuse, together
with the coil, is coated with resin to enhance resis
-
tance to corrosion.
2-STEP PROFILE COMPRESSOR
The centre area of the scroll in the compressor pro-
vides 2-step profile, and thickness of area "B" shown
in the figure has been increased to enhance
strength. With this feature, thickness of area "A"
shown where lesser load is applied is reduced, thus
compressor performance is enhanced by compress
-
ing refrigerant even in central area, comparing to the
previous model.
CONDENSERM2551001400140
The condenser has been integrated with the radiator (cooling
module) to optimise ventilation and reduce weight.

CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
The pulley is made of cast iron.
The pulley portion has grooves for the V-ribbed belt
(with 6 crests).
The flange portion of the pulley has a timing mark
notch for checking the ignition timing.
A torsion damper has been adopted to reduce the
torsional vibration of the crankshaft, as well as to
dramatically reduce noise and vibration in the
high-speed range.
DRIVE PLATE
The drive plate is made of sheet metal.The drive plate is mounted with 7 bolts.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ENGINE COOLING14-2
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.

SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WITH FORCE LIMITER
.The driver’s/front passenger’s seat belt retractor has been
equipped with a force limiter. The force limiter is a device which
operates when a predetermined force is applied, and limits the
force.
.
OPERATION
1. If a collision energy is transmi tted to the seat belt, the ELR
mechanism will operate to lock the seat belt.
2. If the energy increases to a predetermined value, the torsion bar will be distorted. As the spindle rotates together with the
torsion bar, the seat belt w ebbing is pulled out, reducing the
impact to the occupants.
