FEATURES
WEIGHT REDUCTION AND HIGH RIGID-
ITY
•Application ranges of high tension steel plate,
antirust steel plate, and uneven thickness steel
plate have been expanded.
•The upper frame outer and front pillar connection
has been strengthened by adopting the upper
frame-to-front pillar brace.
•The radius of each opening corner for the doors
and tailgate has been enlarged.
•Cowl top lower panel and spring house panel are
directly joined for higher rigidity.
•Strut tower bar has been adopted <4G1>.
•A front suspension axle side plate has been
adopted <4G1>.
•The air outlet garnish has been installed to the
hood, improving the sporty image and cooling
efficiency in the engine compartment. <4G1>
REDUCTION OF VIBRATION, NOISE, AND
AERODYNAMIC NOISE
•Straight frame structure has been adopted.
•Curved front floor and uneven thickness steel
plate have been adopted.
•Rigidity of the suspension installation part has
been improved.
IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFETY
•RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) has
been used for the main body.
•Features a side door beam to boost safety upon
side impact.
•Direct combination key cylinder and inside lock
cables for the front doors have been adopted to
improve safety upon impact.
IMPROVEMENTS IN OPERATION
QUALITY
•The central door locking system, which
locks/unlocks all the doors and the tailgate, is
adopted.
•"P" position shift linked door-unlock function has
been introduced to the central door locking sys
-
tem(F1C1A).
IMPROVEMENTS OF PRODUCT
PACKAGE AND APPEARANCE
•Rigidity of door sash bottom section has been
improved.
•By improving the engaging sound between the
door latch and striker, the door locking sound
quality has been enhanced.
•UV & heat protect glass has been used for the
windshield.
•UV-reducing glass has been used for the front
door window glasses and rear door window
glasses.
•Privacy glasses have been used for rear door
window glasses, quarter window glasses, and
tailgate window glass (Option).

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.

REDUCTION OF MATERIAL BURDEN ON ENVIRONMENT
ItemMain Components
Elimination of
environmental
burden materialsLead-free materials have been utilised as the following components: Radiator, fuel
tank, power steering oil pressure hose, el ectrodeposition paint for body, glass ceramic
print, heater core, battery terminals, wiring harness
Non-asbestos material has been used for engine gaskets.
PVC(polyvinyl chloride)-free materials ha ve been used for the waterproofing film.
Prevention of
ozone depletionAir conditioner filled with new refrigerant (HFC 134a) has been installed.
Prevention of air
pollutionEmployment of a metal cylinder head gasket reduces the volume of incomplete
combustion generated between the cylinder block and cylinder head, and suppresses
the level of unburned hydrocarbon (HC).
SERVICEABILITY AND RELIABILITY

MULTI USE TESTER-III (M.U.T.-III) SUB
ASSEMBLY
Comprehensive improvements have been made to
the M.U.T.-II, a tester for diagnosing problems with
the electronic control system. For easier servicing,
the newly developed M.U.T.-III has greatly improved
functions and is much easier to use. The M.U.T.-III
expands the functions of the M.U.T.-II in the following
ways:
1.CAN* bus diagnosis
•Auto diagnosis function for the CAN commu-
nications bus line is added.
NOTE: *CAN: Controller Area Network (for further
details, refer to GROUP 54C
