Kia Optima Hybrid: Body Dimensions / General Information
| General |
| 1. |
Basically, all measurements in this manual are taken with a tracking gauge. |
| 2. |
When a measuring tape is used, check to be sure there is no elongation, twisting or bending. |
| 3. |
For measuring dimensions, both projected dimension and actual-measurement dimension are used in this manual. |
| Measurement Method |
| Projected Dimensions |
| 1. |
These are the dimensions measured when the measurement
points are projected into the reference plane, and are the reference
dimensions used for body alterations. |
| 2. |
If the length of the tracking gauge probes is adjustable,
make the measurement by lengthening one probe by the amount equivalent
to the difference in height of the two surfaces.
|
| Actual-Measurement Dimensions |
| 1. |
These dimensions indicate the actual linear distance between
measurement points, and are the reference dimensions for use if a
tracking gauge is used for measurement. |
| 2. |
Measure by first adjusting both probes to the same length (A=A'').
|
| Measurement Point |
| 1. |
Measurements should be taken at the hole center.
