BODY STRUCTURE


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. A hood insulator is provided on the rear of the hood sub-assembly. This achieves excellent sound insulation performance.

    2. An cowl top panel insulator No. 1 is provided for the cowl top panel outer FR, thus aiming for reduction of noise intrusion from the engine compartment into the cabin.

    5. A dash panel insulator assembly is provided. This insulates and absorbs the engine noise to reduce the amount of engine noise leaking into the cabin:


      1. The following features have been given to achieve a superior sound absorption and insulation performance.


        • The side of the cowl has been enlarged (improved sound absorption and insulation performance).

        • The holes in the dash panel insulator assembly have been filled (improved sound absorption and insulation performance).

        • Insulation material has been added to the lower portion of the dash panel insulator assembly (improved sound absorption and insulation performance).
