Daewoo 4-Door Notch Back, 3-Door Hatch Back, 5-Door Hatch Back Technical Manual – 467 Pages of Factory Specs

Ever ordered a part for one of these Daewoo hatchbacks and got the wrong piece because the aftermarket catalog didn’t distinguish between the 4-Door Notch Back and the 3-Door Hatch Back? I’ve seen it happen. The problem is those generic parts lists don’t carry the option codes or the body-level specifics. This factory Technical Manual from Daewoo puts that mess to rest. 467 pages of OEM data – no reprints, no aftermarket guesswork.

Factory documents like this one give you the option codes and part identifiers you need to order the exact component. The manual covers the 5-Door Hatch Back as well, so you can handle the whole lineup.

Engine and Transaxle Identification

On page 2, the manual breaks down the model coding. Engine types: Y for 1.5L SOHC, 6 for 1.6L DOHC. Transaxle: M for manual, A for automatic. Body types: 4N, 3H, 5H. Trim levels S, SE, SX. If you’re chasing a misfire or a transmission leak, start here to confirm which variant you have. Don’t assume – verify against the build plate.

What Option Codes Does This Manual Cover?

The option table on page 3 lists codes like A31 (power windows front & rear), A32 (power windows front only), AJ3 (air bag driver side), AU3 (central door lock), C59 (uncompleted air conditioner), C60 (air conditioner), CF6 (sun roof power), JLG (antilock brake system), ML4 (4 speed automatic T/A), N40 (power steering), PG4 (alloy wheel 5.5JX14), T45 (rear spoiler), U83 (speaker coaxial 2 way), UNA (cassette mech 7W), UN1 (cassette mech 25W), UN6 (cassette logic 25W), WBV (CD player). Each appears with B (base) or O (option) for the body levels S, SE, SX. The symbols & (with), – (except), / (and/or) tell you when options are combined or excluded. If you miss this step, you’ll order a part for a car that never came with that option. Cross-checking these codes against your VIN or build sheet is the only way to get the exact component the first time.

467 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

Every page is packed with part identification codes, quantities, effective dates, and mounting positions (LH/RH). The manual uses two-character part identification codes to help you discriminate parts fast. You get the exact quantity required per sub-group, and the effective date tells you when the part was introduced. No flipping through aftermarket compilations that omit the critical “L/R” column.

Need to understand the basics of an Internal Combustion Engine? This manual builds on those core principles. And if you’re tackling the gearbox, knowing the differences in Manual Transmission designs helps you match the correct overhaul kit.

Verify Part Numbers Against Color Codes

Page 3 gives you the exterior and interior color code tables. For example, code 11U is Galaxy White with grey interior. When ordering body panels or interior trim, cross-reference the color code. Aftermarket manuals skip this entirely, leaving you to guess the shade. The manual also shows interior color (e.g., GREY) so you match the dashboard and door panels.

Body Trim Levels: S, SE, SX Explained

The manual has a column for trim level applicability. Some options are standard on SX but optional on SE. Knowing this prevents ordering a part that doesn’t physically fit because the trim level changed the mounting bracket or wiring connector. For instance, dual air bags (ABF) are base on SE and SX but option on S. Don’t skip this step.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

This is a genuine factory Daewoo Technical Manual – not a scanned reprint from a third party. The part numbers and specifications are the same ones the dealership used. Aftermarket manuals often combine multiple models into one confusing list, omitting the option code table and the color codes. With this manual, you get the original layout, the original part identification codes, and the original effective dates. That’s the difference between a correct order and a return.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the manual include torque specifications for engine bolts?

No, this is a parts identification and option code manual, not a service procedure manual.

How do I use the option code table to order the correct part?

Each option code (like A31 for power windows) appears with a symbol O or B in columns for each body level (S, SE, SX). The manual also uses symbols & (with), – (except), / (and/or). You need to match your vehicle’s VIN or build sheet to the option codes listed. Cross-reference with the color code table and part identification code to get the exact part number. For example, if your car has code C60 (air conditioner) and body level SX, you find that part in the appropriate sub-group with the correct mounting position (LH/RH). This process eliminates returns and wrong parts. Don’t skip the option code step – it’s the most common mistake I see.

If you work on these Daewoo passenger cars, you need the real factory data. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or print the relevant pages. It will pay for itself on the first correct part order.
