This manual covers diagnosis and testing and repair procedures.
This manual is structured into groups and sections, with specific system sections collected together under their relevant group.
A group covers a specific portion of the vehicle. The manual is divided into five groups, General Information, Chassis, Powertrain, Electrical and Body and Paint. The number of the group is the first number of a section number.
Within Etis, the navigation tree will list the groups. After selecting a group the navigation tree will then list the sections within that group. Each section has a contents list detailing Specifications, Description and Operation, Diagnosis and Testing, General Procedures, Disassembly and Assembly, Removal and Installation.
If components need to be removed or disassembled in sequence, the sequence will be identified numerically in a graphic and the corresponding text will be numbered accordingly.
All left-hand and right-hand references to the vehicle are taken from a position sitting in the driver seat looking forward.
All left-hand and right-hand references to the engine are taken from a position at the flywheel looking towards the front camshaft pulley.
