Purpose, Function
The water pump operates by obtaining drive force from the engine via the drive belt to pump engine coolant.
Construction
The water pump is installed to the engine front.

The water pump consists of the following parts:

A hard plastic shroud impeller has been adopted to the impeller. As a result, leakage loss from the front and back surfaces of the impeller is reduced and the pump efficiency is improved.

Operation
1. The water pump pulley rotates by obtaining drive force from the engine via the drive belt.
2. The impeller with the water pump pulley and shaft connected rotates to pump engine coolant.
Water Pump Removal/Installation
Cooling Fan RelayTraction 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 ...
Engine Coolant Protection Inspection
1. Measure the engine coolant temperature and specific gravity using a thermometer
and a hydrometer.
CAUTION:
Use engine coolant at a concentration that meets the environmental conditions
in which the vehicle is driven, otherwise engine damage could occur.
The engine has alumi ...
Engine Oil Level Inspection
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Warm up the engine.
3. Stop the engine and allow at least 5 min before continuing.
4. Remove the dipstick, wipe it cleanly, and reinstall it fully.
5. Remove the dipstick and verify that the oil level is between the F and L marks
on the dipstick. ...
