GENERAL INFORMATION

M24200000001USA0000010000

FEATURES

LIGHT WEIGHT, HIGH RIGIDITY, ANTI-
CORROSIVE

The application ranges of high-tensile steel panels,
and  anti-corrosion  steel  panels  have  been

reinforcement has been adopted.

The 3-way support structure for the front frame has
been adopted.

The strut tower bar has been installed.

The  upper  frame  to  front  pillar  brace  has  been
installed.

The aluminum roof panel has been adopted.

REDUCTION IN VIBRATION AND NOISE

More sound absorption/insulator and styrene foam
filler have been adopted.

The closed section roof bow has been adopted.

IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY

The  one-touch  power  window  (operative  after
ignition  switch  is  turned  OFF)  with  safety
mechanism has been installed. <Driver's seat only>

The direct combination key cylinder and inside lock
cables  for  the  front  doors  have  been  adopted  to
improve door opening operation upon impact.

RISE  (Reinforced  Impact  Safety  Evolution)  has
been adopted for the main body.

The side door beam has been adopted.

The crush box structure has been adopted to the
side member front end.

The shock absorbing hole has been adopted to the
cowl top outer panel.

The fender padding structure has been adopted.

IMPROVEMENTS IN OPERATION
PERFORMANCE

The  central  door  locking  system  which  can  lock/
unlock all the doors and liftgate has been adopted.

The  override  function  which  allows  to  open  the
driver's  door  by  pulling  the  driver's  inside  handle
when all the doors are locked has been adopted.

Electric  liftgate  lock  release  handle  that  requires
only the slightest operating force has been adopted.

IMPROVEMENTS IN MARKETABILITY AND
APPEARANCE

By improving the clicking sound when the door latch
and  striker  are  engaged,  the  door  locking  sound
quality has been enhanced.

The high rigidity pressed door has been adopted to
improve the rigidity of the door sash bottom section.

The privacy glasses for the rear door window glass,
quarter window glass, and liftgate window glass has
been adopted. (Optional for LS, Standard for XLS)

The headlight support upper panel cover has been
installed  to  the  hood  latch  front  section  to  deter
thieves.

The  upper/lower  split  type  liftgate  has  been
adopted.

The  sunroof  with  safety  mechanism  has  been
installed as an option.

IMPROVEMENTS IN FUNCTIONALITY

A fuel filler cap holder has been installed to the fuel
door in order to prevent the fuel cap from being left
open.

MAIN BODY

RISE  (Reinforced  Impact  Safety  Evolution)  has
been adopted for the main body in order to improve
all-round impact safety at high level.

The applications of anti-corrosion steel plates have
been expanded to the hood, doors, inner panel of
the liftgate and reinforcements to improve the anti-
corrosive properties of the main body.

High-tensile  steel  panels  of  590MPa-grade  and
980MPa-grade have been used for some panels to
improve collision safety and reduce weight.

The sealer application area has been extended to
the entire flange folded edge of the doors, hood, and
liftgate, and the panel joints at the bottom of the front
floor  and  the  rear  floor,  in  order  to  improve  rust
resistance.

BODY

MAIN BODY

reduce the risk of passenger injuries at front-, rear-,
and side-impact collisions, secure the space for life
protection,  and  facilitate  rescuing  passengers.  The
structures also have the following features:

1.

The crush box structure has been adopted to the
front  end  of  the  sidemember  to  improve  the
characteristics at a minor frontal collision.

2.

Closed-crosssectional  construction  has  been
used for the front roof rail, the roof bow center and
the rear roof rail to improve vehicle body ridigity
and suppress vibration and noise.

3.

An annular construction has been used for the side
structure reinforcement to improve collision safety
and vehicle body ridigity.

4.

The  front  frame  structure  is  supported  in  three
directions by the dash crossmember center, dash
crossmember lower, and front sidemember rear in
order

 to

 improve

 the

 frontal

 collision

characteristics,  and  increase  the  vehicle  body
rigidity.

5.

The front sidemember structure has been changed
to a straight frame structure with a hexagon cross
section  in  order  to  improve  the  collision
characteristics.

6.

The  padding  structure  of  the  fender  has  been
adopted to efficiently absorb energy upon impact
and improve the pedestrian protection capability.

7.

The  impact  absorbing  opening  on  the  cowl  top
outer panel has been added to efficiently absorb
energy  upon  impact  and  improve  the  pedestrian
protection capability.
