Sound insulation was improved with anti-vibration 
effects and heightening surface rigidity with a stiff-
ener on the inner side of the side outer panel, and 
front fender, as well as a damping sheet adhered to 
the inner side of the front door.

NOTE: The main contents of a stiffener are epoxy 
resin. It comes in a sheet form and contains a mix-
ture of glass fibre and filler, and cures (stiffens) when 
heated. It is used to improve the rigidity of the outer 
plate.

AB100778

Projected dimension

Height

Probe

AB

1. Type A (projected dimensions)

• Indicates the dimension when a measurement 

location is projected onto the plane.

• The difference in height of the measurement 

points should be taken into consideration when 
measuring.

•

AB100779AB

Actual-measured dimension

A

A'

The height indicates a distance from the 
assumed standard line established 100 mm 
below the lowest measurement point.

2. Type B (actual-measurement dimensions)

• Indicates the actual distance between the meas-

urement points.

• Measure using a tracking gauge or a measuring 

tape, etc.

NOTE: 

.

•

Make the lengths of the tracking gauge 
probes the same (A=A’).

•

Centre of hole

Do 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 rectangle, this indicates that the 
symmetrical left and right positions have the same 
dimensions.

AB100781AB

5. When using a notch for dimension measurement, 

set the measuring point at the centre of the notch.

AB100782AB

Bolt

Measurement point

6. When measuring the suspension mounting arm, 

or link mounting position, use the suspension 
mounting bolt, etc. (Type B only)

7. The body centre points are shown for the purpose 

of checking the position of the left and right 
symmetry location.
