🏷️ Basic Information Identification Make: Daihatsu Model: Terios Generation Code: J100/J122 Years Covered: 1997-2005 👋 Introduction Market Position Market Position: The Daihatsu Terios (J100/J122) was positioned as a compact, affordable, and rugged mini SUV or 'kei SUV' in many markets, offering genuine four-wheel-drive capability in a small package. It competed with vehicles like the Suzuki Vitara, Honda CR-V (early models), and similar subcompact SUVs. Competitive Analysis Competitive Analysis: Its key selling points were its compact size, excellent maneuverability, surprisingly capable off-road performance for its class due to available 4WD, and its fuel efficiency relative to larger SUVs. The manual covers the intricacies of this unique subcompact SUV. Key Features Key Features: Authentic 4WD system, ladder-frame construction (early models), compact dimensions, affordable price point, simple and robust mechanicals. Construction: Early models (J100) utilized a separate body-on-frame construction, offering robust durability and excellent off-road articulation. Later models (J122) adopted a unibody construction for improved ride comfort and weight reduction, while retaining a compact SUV profile. 📋 Manual Details Coverage Areas Coverage Areas: North America, Europe, Asia (specific regions may vary based on original manual distribution) Page Count Page Count: Estimated 800-1200 pages (typical for comprehensive factory service manuals) Manual Type Manual Type: Factory Service Repair Workshop Manual Language Language: English Format Format: Downloadable PDF Searchable Text: Yes, the PDF format includes searchable text, allowing users to quickly find specific topics, component names, or procedures.
