BODY AND EXTERIOR
Quietness
Silencers, dual-wall panels, sound-absorbing materials, etc. are utilized in conjunction with a high-rigidity and vibration/noise-
proof body structure in order to provide a quiet passenger compartment.
1) Silencers
They
(=
asphalt sheets) minimize the transmission of noise/vibration into the passenger compartment.

2) Dual-wall toeboard
The toeboard is a dual-wall design consisting of an asphalt sheet placed between two steel panels to reduce the transmission
of noise and vibration from the engine compartment to the passenger compartment.

3) Sound-absorbing materials
A unit construction type insulator is used respectively for the toeboard, floor, trunk, roof and rear bulkhead section to improve
the sound-absorbing effect and even thicker sound-absorbing material is used in the floor for 2700 cc.
