Engine Code And Type:
Primarily the 4C92 (2.0L SOHC I4 gasoline) or variations like 4ZE1 (2.8L I4 diesel) for some markets. This manual is expected to cover the most common variants.
Horsepower And Torque:
Approx. 99-105 hp for the 4C92 gasoline engine; diesel variants would have different figures. Specific torque figures are detailed within the manual.
Induction:
Fuel injection (MPI - Multi-Point Injection) for gasoline engines of later years; earlier models might have carbureted versions depending on market. Diesel engines would have injection pumps.
Cooling Method:
Pressurized liquid cooling system with a radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat.
Oil Type And Capacity:
Typically API SG/SH or equivalent. Capacity around 4.5-5.5 liters. Exact specifications provided in the manual.
Type:
5-speed manual transmission is common.
Type:
3-speed or 4-speed automatic transmission available on some models.
Drivetrain Options:
Selectable 4WD (4x4) system with high and low range, often with a manual transfer case lever.
Manual Transmission Fluid:
API GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil, typically 75W-90 or 80W-90. Exact specification in the manual.
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Dexron II or equivalent. Capacity approx. 6-7 liters for a full refill. Exact specification in the manual.
Length:
Approx. 3,950 mm (for short-wheelbase hardtop models).
Height:
Approx. 1,700-1,720 mm (for hardtop models).
Curb Weight:
Approx. 1,300-1,400 kg depending on configuration.
Wheelbase:
Approx. 2,300 mm.
Oil And Filter:
Engine oil and filter change every 5,000-7,500 km or 6-12 months (whichever comes first), depending on driving conditions. Refer to manual for exact interval based on engine type.
Transmission Fluid:
Manual transmission: Inspect periodically, change every 50,000-100,000 km. Automatic transmission: Change fluid and filter every 40,000-60,000 km.
Coolant:
Flush and replace coolant every 2-3 years or 50,000 km. Use a suitable ethylene glycol-based antifreeze.
Timing Belt:
Critical component. Replacement recommended every 80,000-100,000 km or 5-7 years, depending on the engine. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Replace every 2-3 years due to moisture absorption.
Power Steering Fluid:
If equipped, typically ATF Dexron II or a specific power steering fluid. Check manual for exact type.
Common Wear Items:
Suspension bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, clutch wear, exhaust system corrosion, heater core leaks.
Electrical Quirks:
Aging wiring harnesses can lead to intermittent issues, particularly with lighting and signals. Corroded grounds are a common cause of electrical faults.
Engine Performance:
Overheating due to clogged radiators or failing water pumps. Carbon buildup on valves can affect performance.
Daihatsu Specialty:
Daihatsu is known for producing small, efficient, and robust vehicles, particularly kei cars and compact SUVs.
Feroza Rocky Lineage:
The Feroza/Rocky line followed the Daihatsu Taft and preceded the Terios. It was Daihatsu's dedicated compact off-roader for many years.
