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.
