Purpose
The magnetic clutch transmits the rotation force from the engine to the shaft in the A/C compressor.
Function
The magnetic clutch engages or disengages the magnetic clutch and the A/C turns on or off by switching the power transmission from the engine.
Construction
The magnetic clutch is installed to the A/C compressor.
The magnetic clutch consists of the following parts:
Pressure plate
A/C compressor pulley
Stator
Snap ring
Shim
Operation
Magnetic clutch disengagement
1. If there is no energization in the magnetic clutch stator from the A/C relay, the pressure plate cannot be engaged with the A/C compressor pulley because the magnetic clutch stator does not operate.
2. The rotation force from the drive belt is only transmitted to the A/C compressor pulley and the pulley spins.
Magnetic clutch engagement
1. If there is energization in the magnetic clutch stator from the A/C relay, the magnetic clutch stator operates and the pressure plate is engaged with the A/C compressor pulley.
2. The rotation force from the drive belt is transmitted to the compressor shaft through the pressure plate from the A/C compressor pulley.
Fail-safe
Function not equipped.
Rear Drive Shaft
Purpose, Function
Engine noise and vibration have been reduced due to adoption of a bell joint
on the wheel side of the constant velocity joint.
A low noise and vibration double offset joint with low slide resistance has
been adopted for the differential side of the constant vel ...

Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates
the brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automaticall ...
