Outline
The multi-load path and triple H-shaped structure of distributing the power absorbed at the collision were used for the body shell.
A ring structure has been adopted for the triple H structure, realizing top-level crash safety performance.
Crushable structure from which an engine mounting bracket and suspension crossmember are made to secede at the collision is used for the body frame of an engine room.
The energy absorption space between a hood and engine was secured.

Construction
Triple H-shaped structure
An H-shaped structure has been adopted in which reinforcements are equipped in the floor, side frame, and roof, and each connection area is strengthened.
The combination of these three structural areas provide the strong triple H-shaped structure.
Triple H structure distributes the impulse force at the side collision to reinforcement of the roof, cabin side frame, and floor.
Triple H-shaped structure controls the twisting of the cabin while driving.
Crushable structure
Engine mounting brackets and front suspension crossmember are made to break away during a collision.
Ring structure
For the ring structure, the basic framework is thoroughly straightened.
For the ring structure, the frames are circularly linked.
Multi-load path
The multi-load path is stabilized during a collision, and has set the load distribution load path which carries out energy absorption.
The front side frame, front B frame and rear side frame are made into straight forms.
The front side frame is supported by the side sill, front B frame and side member.
Fail-safe
Function not equipped.
Hood
Purpose/Function
The hood is constructed with a large space between the front end of the hood
and the engine to absorb an impact.
Construction
The hood stiffener positioned at the front end of the hood is shaped so that
it collapses easily during an impact. In addition, the ...
Timing Chain Removal/Installation
WARNING:
A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it
is cool before servicing.
CAUTION:
If the camshaft is rotated with the timing chain removed and the piston at
the top dead center position, the valve may contact the piston and the engine ...
Front Fog Lights Indicator Light
Purpose
Notifies the user that the front fog lights are illuminated.
Function
Illuminates when the front fog light illumination conditions are met.
Construction
Displayed in the instrument cluster.
Operation
1. With the light switch in the TNS, HEAD, or ...
