GENERAL

TECHNICAL FEATURES

00-17

The Anti-skid Brake System (ABS)/Active stability
control system is a combination system of active sta­bility control system and anti-skid brake control sys­tem. The active stability control system avoids a
dangerous vehicle attitude by limiting the engine out­put and braking a set of wheels (left front and right
rear, or right front and left rear) according to driving
conditions. The anti-skid brake control system pre­vents wheel spinning at vehicle start.

ABS/Active stability control system is available for all
models as optional equipment.

IMPACT SAFETY BODY

The front and rear structures to absorb high energy,
and the highly tough cabin structure reduce the risk
of passenger injuries at front-, rear-, and side-impact
collisions, secure the space for life protection, and
facilitate rescuing passengers.

1. The octagonal cross section for the front of the
front sidemember and 8-shaped cross section for
the rear of the front sidemember have been
adopted for enlargement so that the applied
structures can effectively absorb energy from the
impact at the time of collision.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS)

The SRS is designed to supplement the front seat
belts. It eliminates or reduces injury to the front pas­senger(s) by deploying air bag(s) in case of a
head-on collision.

SRS SIDE AIR BAG

Side air bag systems in the front seats are activated
when sideward impacts applied to the vehicle exceed
a threshold to protect the occupants’ upper bodies.

SRS CURTAIN AIR BAG

The curtain air bag systems are activated when side­ward impacts applied to the vehicle exceed a thresh­old, to protect the heads of the occupants in the front
and rear seats.

AC313299

AB

SEAT BELT WITH PRE-TENSIONER

The seat belts with pre-tensioner work simultane­ously with the SRS. The pre-tensioner takes up seat
belt slack immediately when a collision takes place,
restraining the front passengers sooner than the
SRS. This prevents the passengers from moving for­ward.

STEERING SHAFT AND STEERING
COLUMN

The impact absorption mechanism in combination of
retractable steering shaft and steering column disen­gagement mechanism has been adopted to alleviate
the impact from the steering wheel to the driver.

BRAKE PEDAL

The brake pedal backward movement restraint
mechanism to restrain the backward movement of
the brake pedal to the minimum at the time of frontal
collision has been adopted so that the impact to the
lower limbs of the driver can be alleviated.

REAR SEAT BELT WITH CHILD SEAT
FIXING MECHANISM (ALR*)

The child seat fixing mechanism has been adopted
to easily and securely fix the child seat that is not
compatible with ISO FIX.

NOTE: *ALR: Automatic Locking Retractor

POWER WINDOW WITH SAFETY
MECHANISM

The power window with safety mechanism has been
adopted to automatically roll down and stop the door
window glass as soon as the occurrence of jamming
is detected at the time of rolling up the door window
glass.

SUNROOF WITH SAFETY MECHANISM

The sunroof with safety mechanism has been
adopted so that the roof lid glass can move in the
reverse direction and stop when application of exter­nal force hinders the movement during the sliding to
close or tilt down operation.

TRIMS AND HEADLINING

The head impact absorption structure has been
adopted for the pillar trim, quarter trim, and headlin­ing so that impact towards the head of a passenger
can be reduced.

• 3-point ELR seat belts

• Child-protection rear door locks

SERVICEABILITY AND RELIABILITY

MUT-III (MULTI USE TESTER-III)

Comprehensive improvements have been made to
the MUT-II, a tester for diagnosing problems with the
electronic control system. For easier servicing, the
newly developed MUT-III has greatly improved func­tions and is much easier to use. The MUT-III
expands the functions of the MUT-II in the following

ways:

1. Interactive Error Diagnosis

• In response to the nature of the problem, the
corresponding troubleshooting page from the
maintenance manual is retrieved.

• Service data is displayed, and from the actua­tor test screen, the page of the maintenance
manual is retrieved for a list of inspection ref­erence values.

GENERAL

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

2. Service Manual Viewer

• The technical information manual and work­shop manual can be displayed on a personal
computer monitor.

3. CAN* bus diagnosis

• Auto diagnosis function for the CAN commu­nications bus line.

NOTE: *CAN: Controller Area Network (for further
details, refer to GROUP 54C P.54C-2).

IMPROVED SERVICEABILITY

• Since adoption of unvolatile memory (EEPROM*)
helps the learned value not to be initialised when
the battery terminal or connector of the control
unit is disconnected, maintainability can be
improved.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION

MODELS

NOTE: *EEPROM: Electrical Erasable Programma-

ble ROM (information to be memorised can be
electronically written into and erased from ROM)

• Since the adoption of service hole at the quarter
trim is designed for removal and installation of the
rear shock absorber assembly, maintainability
can be improved.

• Since the adoption of electric power steering
makes hydraulic pipes and oil pumps unneces­sary, maintainability can be improved.

• Since adoption of service hole at the splash
shield helps for removal and installation of head­lamp bulb (low beam) and front turn signal lamp
bulb, maintainability can be improved.

• The instrument lower panel can be removed or
installed without using tools at the time of fuse
replacement in the junction block.

The cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, which
is lightweight and has an excellent cooling efficiency.
The pentroof type combustion chamber has a spark
plug in the center. The valve angle is relatively small,
contributing to size reduction.
The intake and exhaust ports are arranged in a
cross-flow construction. Each cylinder has a pair of
intake ports on one side and a pair of exhaust ports
on the other side.

Each of the intake and exhaust camshafts is sup­ported by 4 bearings. On each camshaft, the thrust
load is supported by No. 1 bearing. The No. 1 bear­ings for the intake and exhaust camshafts have a
common bearing cap.
