Component Description

CVT Oil Warmer

• The CVT oil warmer (1) is installed on the front part of transaxle assembly.
• When engine is started while engine and CVT are cold, engine coolant temperature rises more quickly than CVT fluid temperature. CVT oil warmer is provided with two circuits for CVT and engine coolant respectively so that warmed engine coolant warms CVT quickly. This helps shorten CVT warming up time, improving fuel economy.
• A cooling effect is obtained when CVT fluid temperature is high.
