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.

GENERAL -Support Locations for Lifting and Jacking00-26
PLATE TYPE LIFT
To avoid damaging the side sill garnish, put a wooden block between the side sill and a lift.
NOTE
The wooden block should be 100 mm wide and 50 mm high.
SUPPORT POSITIONS AND SUPPORT METHOD
FOR AN H-BAR LIFT
Caution
When service procedures require removing the rear
suspension, fuel tank, spare tyre and rear bumper, place
additional weight on rear end of vehicle or anchor vehicle
to hoist to prevent tipping of centre of gravity changes.
When H-bar lift is used to lift up vehicles, use of metallic
attachment attached to the H-bar lift may cause damage
to the suspension arm etc. Therefore, lift up the vehicle by
the following procedure.
1. Place the vehicle on the H-bar lift (same direction).
2. Place attachments on the H-bar lift at the designated
chassis-support positions. When making the attachments,
refer to the section concerning making them.
Caution
If support is at any location other than the designated
positions, the body or suspension might be deformed
or otherwise damaged, so care should be taken to
support only at the correct (designated) positions.
3. Raise the H-bar lift to the height at which the vehicle
is slightly raised and check to be sure that the vehicle
is correctly and sufficiently secured; then raise the vehicle.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA"DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
Due to the adoption of the Serpentine drive system with the
auto-tensioner, the following operation is required:
1. Insert the 12.7sq. spinner handle into the tool hole of
the auto-tensioner and rotate it counterclockwise until
the auto-tensioner reaches to the stopper.
2. Align hole A with hole B for fixing by inserting the L
shaped-hexagon wrench, then remove the drive belt.
Caution
When the drive belt is reused, use a chalk to indicate
an arrow of rotation direction on the back of the belt
so that it can be re-assembled in the same direction
as before.
AB"POWER STEERING OIL PUMP, BRACKET AND
OIL RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY / A/C COMPRESSOR
REMOVAL
Remove the power steering oil pump, bracket, oil reservoir
and A/C compressor with the hose attached from the bracket.
NOTE
Tie the removed oil pump and A/C compressor with a rope
and set aside where they cannot hinder the removal of the
engine assembly.
AC"ENGINE MOUNTING BRACKET AND STOPPER
ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
1. Support the engine with a garage jack.
2. Remove special tool (MZ203827).
(Tool used for removal of transmission assembly)
3. Hold the engine assembly with a chain block.
4. Support the engine oil pan with a garage jack via a block
of wood cut without applying the weight of the engine
and remove the engine mounting bracket and stopper
assembly.
