MAIN BODY
BODY42-4
•RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) has
been adopted for the main body in order to
ensure all-round impact safety at high level.
•The use range of rust-resistant steel plates has
been expanded and high strength steel plates
have been optimally arranged. In addition,
rust-resistant steel plates are adopted for items
such as the hood, doors, inner panels of tailgate,
and reinforcements in order to improve the rust
resistance of the main body and to reduce its
weight.
•Sealer has been applied to the entire folded area
of the flanges for the doors, hood, and tailgate in
order to improve rust resistance.

SUNROOF
M2420016000242
Electric sliding glass sunroof with tilt-up mechanism
has been adopted (Option). This sunroof features the
following characteristics.
•Lightweight sunroof have been adopted.
•The sunroof tilts up for approx. 30mm to improve
ventilation performance.
•The integrated switch allows for all slide
open/close, tilt up/down and stop operations.
•If external force is applied during slide closing or
tilt down operations that obstructs operations,
then the sunroof lid glass will stop according to
the jam prevention mechanism.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FRONT AXLE26-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
M2260000100701
The front axle consists of front hub, wheel bearing,
knuckles and driveshafts, and has the following fea
-
tures:
•The wheel bearing incorporates magnetic
encoder for wheel speed sensing.
•The driveshaft incorporates EBJ-TJ type constant
velocity joint <4A9-CVT, 4A9-M/T (LS)>,
EBJ-ETJ type constant velocity joint <4A9-M/T
(VR)>, BJ-TJ type constant velocity joint <4G1>.
•The dynamic damper is mounted to reduce differ-
ential gear noise.
•The bracket assembly is mounted to reduce
torque steer. < 4G1>
•For environmental protection, a lead-free grease
is used on the joints.
EBJ(Eight Ball Fixed Joint):The use of the
smaller-sized eight balls inside the joint achieves
weight saving and compact size compared with a
BJ(Birfield Joint).
ETJ(Eco type Tripod Joint):This joint achieves
weight saving and compact size compared with a
TJ(Tripod Joint).
