SPARK PLUG CONSTRUCTION [13B-MSP]
id0118f2100400
• Iridium-tipped spark plugs have been adopted on both trailing and leading sides to improve durability.
• A center electrode with a thick insulator and extremely thin tip (diameter of 0.8 mm {0.03 in}) and small single-ground electrode have been adopted to stabilize firing under a thin fuel-air mixture. At the same time, high-heat resistance has been improved by decreasing the temperature of the electrode and the insulator.
• Spark plugs with an internal resister have been adopted to remove noise caused by the ignition system. The effect of which prevents ignition noise from mixing with the audio system.
• To prevent mis-installation, a paint mark is applied to the upper surface of the spark plug terminal as shown in the table:
