 == Introduction ==
 The Suzuki Jimny name has been used across a number of different vehicle types since the mid-1970's. This website and the information it contains are for the models from 1998 onwards, these are the models that first adopted the Jimny name within the European market and is therefore the model that is often generally called the "Jimny".

 === The purpose of this page ===
 Since Jimnys have been in production for almost 20 years, it is no surprise that there are many versions of user and service manuals for all the different vehicle editions and revisions through the last 20 years, navigating these variants can be complex. Therefore the purpose of this page is to help you identify the model you have and then find the reference numbers of user manuals and service manuals your specific model.

-Jimnys are or were produced in several factories worldwide, not just in Japan. Some of those factories strictly adhered to genuine Suzuki specifications, while others had or have certain level of technical "autonomy". The most notable "autonomous" Jimny factories are/were Santana in Spain, Brazil, Indonesia and India. The last 3 countries in particular built models only available within their country
+Jimnys are or were produced in several factories worldwide, not just in Japan. Some of those factories strictly adhered to genuine Suzuki specifications, while others had or have certain level of technical "autonomy". The most notable "autonomous" Jimny factories are/were in Brazil, Indonesia, India and Santana in Spain. The first three countries in particular built models only available within their country.
-Technical autonomy means that not all mechanical, body or electrical parts of the vehicle are the same as in the genuine Japanese model. One example is the Diesel model, only built in Spain by Santana. Santana made Jimnys primarily for the European market, until 2011 when they went bankrupt. Therefore, you can find both Japanese-made and Spanish-made Jimnys in Europe. They are visually identical.
+Technical autonomy means that not all mechanical, body or electrical parts of the vehicle are the same as in the genuine Japanese model. A notable example are Jimnys made by Santana - many of them contain CV joints, anti roll bar bushes, some brake components etc. which are specific to that factory. Santana made Jimnys primarily for the European market, until 2011 when they went bankrupt. Therefore, you can find both Japanese-made and Spanish-made Jimnys in Europe. They are visually identical.
 So how do you determine where the vehicle was made?
-It used to be generally presumed that all cabrio Jimnys and all diesel (DDiS) Jimnys were made by Santana, as well as many petrol "closed top" Jimnys. However, there have been confirmed findings of several DDiS Jimnys which were made in Japan although these may be imports.
+It used to be generally presumed that ''all'' cabrio Jimnys and all diesel (DDiS) Jimnys were made by Santana, as well as many petrol "closed top" Jimnys. However, at least 10 DDiS Jimnys which were made in Japan were encountered and confirmed throughout continental Europe, and they were sold by local official Suzuki dealers.
