Vehicles With Short Front End: Notes

NOTE: On Eurovans from January 1996, the front end and assembly mounts have been modified. The front end can be either a long or short front end version. Long front end vehicle (distance "a") is 3.54" (90 mm) longer than short front end vehicle. Short front end design has a character line (arrow) on upper wing. See Figure . The transaxle mounts on these vehicles have also been modified (using pendulum support). From January 1996, drive to the right side drive axle is via an exposed flange shaft.
NOTE: In the following procedures, letters and numbers in parenthesis are shown in illustrations.
NOTE: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle.
CAUTION: Radio/cassette or radio/CD player is equipped with an anti-theft protection circuit. Whenever battery is disconnected, radio will go into anti-theft mode. When battery is reconnected, radio will display CODE, and will be inoperative until proper code number is entered. Obtain security code before disconnecting battery.
