Fender Shield
1. The cross section of the front sidemember has been increased and a steel sheet with variable thickness*
has been adopted for the front sidemember inner to increase the thickness of the cabinet side in
the aim to improve safety in collision, body rigidity, and realize lightweight.
NOTE
*: Steel sheets with different thickness welded to form one steel sheet.

Side Structure Reinforcement
1. The thickness of the reinforcements of the front pillar and center pillar has been increased to improve
collision safety.
2. The front pillar reinforcement upper, side outer panel, and front roof rail have been joined to improve
twisting rigidity.
3. The side sill has been made thin by employing a variable thickness steel sheet* for the center pillar
reinforcement to improve safety in collision and realize lightweight.
4. The cross section of the side sill outer reinforcement has been made large to improve safety in
collision and body rigidity.
5. A rear pillar reinforcement has been added, and the rear shelf and rear wheel house have been
joined to improve the twisting rigidity of the suspension attaching portion.
NOTE
*: Steel sheets with different thickness welded to form one steel sheet.

BODY DIMENSIONS -Body Dimensions and Measurement MethodsB-2
BODY DIMENSIONS AND
MEASUREMENT METHODS
1. Type A (projected dimensions)
Indicates the dimension when a measurement location
is projected onto a plane.
The difference in height of the measurement points should
be taken into consideration when measuring.
2. Type B (actual-measurement dimensions)
Indicates the actual distance between the measurement
points.
Measure using a tracking gauge or a measuring tape,
etc.
NOTE
DMake the lengths of the tracking gauge probes the
same (A=A’).
DDo not bend or twist the measuring tape.
3. Insert the tracking gauge probes securely into the
measurement holes
4. When the standard dimensions in the illustration are
enclosed by, this indicates that the symmetrical left and
right positions have the same dimensions.
5. When using a notch for dimension measurement, set
the measuring point at the centre of the notch.
6. When measuring the suspension mounting arm, or link
mounting position, use the suspension mounting bolt,
etc..
7. The body centre points are shown for the purpose of
checking the position of the left and right symmetry
locations.Height
