Preserving Clean Air
Monolithic CarrierThe monolithic carrier acts to reduce or oxidizes harmful emissions such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides.
Air Flow MeterThis air flow meter measure the flow rate of air into the intake manifold, resulting in the correct air-fuel ration for efficient combustion.

Preserving Clean Air
Fuel InjectorThis fuel injector’s atomizing capability dispenses fuel in precise quantities and allows for better mixing with air, increasing fuel efficiency.
Spark PlugTough metal alloys applied to the tip of the plug assure proper ignition even during idling, with less fuel consumption and less noise.

Preserving Clean Air
Stop/Start StarterStop/start systems cut the engine when the vehicle is at a stop or in other idle traffic situations, helping to improve fuel efficiency by approximately three to five percent and to reduce CO2 emissions.
High Pressure Fuel InjectorThe high-pressure fuel injector, developed for gasoline direct-injected engines, allows for more precise controlling of combustion and emissions, which translates to improved fuel economy.

Preserving Clean Air
Oil Control ValveThe oil control valve controls the direction of the oil flow and activates the variable camshaft timing valve, providing more fuel savings and power.
Variable DisplacementCompressor
The variable displacement compressor can alter refrigerant displacement to control air conditioner cooling capability, making it highly fuel-efficient.

Promoting Recycling
HVAC UnitThe plastic case on this HVAC )heating, ventilation and air conditioning) unit is molded with 20% in-house recycled material. A titanium-based process provides corrosion resistance for the evaporator rather than hexavalent chromium, an environmentally hazardous substance. Lead solder was eliminated from processing operations by a raw material switch from copper to aluminum.
StarterThe variable displacement compressor can alter refrigerant

AlternatorA redesigned segment conductor produces a smaller, lighter alternator with higher efficiency and lower noise.
Power Window MotorThe power window motor is engineered to be the most compact, and is available in multiple output torque levels and three versions of control: standard, sensor and smart.

Reducing Hazardous SubstancesInstrument Cluster &Air Conditioning Panel
The instrument cluster and air conditioning panel are manufactured without the anti-corrosive hexavalent chromium, an environmentally hazardous substance that can leak into the underground water table if a product containing the metal is not disposed properly.

Reducing Hazardous SubstancesCooling Fan Motors
The fan motor is manufactured with lead-free electrical brushes.
Power Seat MotorThe power seat motor is engineered to optimize material usage while maintaining performance and size advantages for today’s innovative, lightweight seat system.

Reducing Hazardous SubstancesWindshield Wiper System
The wiper motor is manufactured with lead-free electrical brushes.
Radiator Tank (plant-derived resin)The plant-derived resin radiator tank, which is made from castor oil, is green all the way around. Compared to conventional products, it releases less CO2 emissions into the environment during its life cycle because it is partially made from material extracted from plants, which absorb CO2 through the photosynthesis process. It also helps conserve oil, a fossil fuel which is being depleted.
