Purpose, Function
The engine mount secures the engine and transaxle to the vehicle body, reducing vibration and noise.
Construction
The three points at the engine front (No.3 engine mount), one side of the transaxle (No.1 engine mount), and the rear upper part of the transaxle (No.4 engine mount) are supported.

With the adoption of the oil-filled bushing type for the No.3 engine mount and No.4 engine mount rubber, the damper effect has been improved.

Operation
By locating the one side of the transaxle (No.1 engine mount) to the transaxle lower end, the No.1 engine mount absorbs the rotation force to the powertrain generated during engine torque fluctuation. The layout is designed to disperse the rotation force to the front/back directions of the engine.

Piston AssemblyDown Switch [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The down switch detects the shift down operation of the selector lever.
The down switch signal is sent to the TCM via CAN and is used for manual
shift control and engine-transaxle integration control.
Construction

Thermostat
Purpose, Function
When the engine coolant temperature is low, the thermostat blocks the engine
coolant passage between the radiator and engine. As a result, because engine
coolant cycles without passing through the radiator, warming is promoted.
