Generation and equipment description ↗

MacPherson front suspension: For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
Rear torsion-beam suspension: For a version with a rear torsion beam, confirm the suspension specification and mountings in the parts catalogue. Check the rear layout separately from the front suspension.
Rear-view camera: Check the image when reverse is selected and the area visible near the bumper. A camera does not replace checking around the car.
