COLUMN SWITCH
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2546100200058
Column switch has a function to ensure the driver's
safety during frontal collision of vehicle..
Function
If the column switch is moved to the front of the vehi-
cle and hit on the instrument panel or meter bezel by
the frontal collision of vehicle, the steering wheel is
moved to the front of the vehicle because the right
and left levers fall down, ensuring the driver's safety.
In addition, the column switch secures the rigidity
that the levers do not fall down by the normal opera
-
tion, however, it cannot be reused after the deforma-
tion.
RADIO AND CD PLAYER
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2544900200218
•Two types of audio, CD player with radio or 6-disk CD
changer with radio, have been established. The audio was
designed to create a uniformity impression with the instru
-
ment panel. Also, a new function automatically corrects the
sound quality and volume during driving.

•For the vehicles with Rockford Fosgate ® premium sound
system, the 8-ch high-power audio amplifier with integrated
DSP (total maximum output of 650 W) has been established
under the driver's seat. The clear treble without distortion is
available.
•For the vehicles with Rockford Fosgate ® premium sound
system, the audio adapter has been established onto the
center tray. With this modification, portable music player
can be connected.

POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH
A power steering pressure switch is installed on the power
steering oil pump. The power steering pressure switch uses a
contact switch to detect the power steering oil pressure. When
power steering oil pressure rises due to operation of the steer
-
ing wheel, the power steering load switch outputs an ON signal
to ECM. ECM performs idle-up according to the voltage and
prevents reduction in engine speed due to power steering load
and so maintains stable idle speed.

GENERAL INFORMATION
REAR SUSPENSION34-2
GENERAL INFORMATIONM2340000100977
The trailing arm type multi-link suspension is
adopted.
.
MAIN FEATURES
•The wheel tread is increased to improve corner-
ing ability.
•The roll center height is modified to improve the
steering ability.
•A double crossmember is adopted and the upper
arm, lower arm, toe control arm are joined to the
crossmember to improve suspension alignment
accuracy and maintenance performance.
•Improvement of arms installation accuracy elimi-
nates the camber adjustment to improve mainte-
nance performance.
•The trailing arm bushings are installed in the
upper position to improve the movement of the
suspension when the vehicle negotiates bumps
and increase riding comfort.
•Twin tube type shock absorber is adopted to
secure optimum rolling rigidity and improve the
steering ability.
•A high efficiency ball joint type stabilizer link is
adopted to improve steering ability.
•The toe control arm is installed in the lower posi-
tion to increase toe and camber rigidity and
improve steering ability.

The MacPherson strut type suspension is adopted..
MAIN FEATURES
•The wheel tread is increased to improve corner-
ing ability.
•The roll center height is modified to improve the
steering ability.
•Increased suspension stroke improves road hold-
ing quality, and secures good adhesion even on
bumpy-rough roads to reduce shocks received
when the vehicle negotiates bumps.
•The fully flattened crossmember improves the
left/right direction rigidity of installation points of
the lower arms for high steering ability.
•Tuning of the lower arm bushes improves the
steering ability and riding comfort.
•The stabilizer bar is joined to the strut for high
efficiency to secure the optimum rolling rigidity,
and improves the steering ability.
•Total tuning of struts, springs, and bump rubbers
improves the steering ability and riding comfort.

FEATURES
A hydraulic power steering system has been adopted
to all models.
This steering system offers the following features:
•The support method of the steering gear to the
crossmember is realised by the left and right
internal bushings with inner cylinders. This sup
-
port method achieves higher rigidity of the steer-
ing gear and improves the steering feeling.
•Configuring the optimum flow characteristics and
gear valve feature improves the handling stability.
•Appropriate application of friction to the steering
gear cuts off the disturbance from the road sur
-
face and improves the stability during the
straight-ahead driving.
•Optimisation of the flexible tube in the high pres-
sure hose reduces the pump noise.
