Manual Description
BODY EXTERIOR, DOORS, ROOF & VEHICLE SECURITY, handling of Ultra High Strength Steel Plate Parts 7, criteria for Battery Removal When Drying Painting, since hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain a high voltage battery, there risk.

Electric shock, electric leakage, or similar accidents if the high voltage component vehicle, be sure to remove the service plug in order to disconnect the high voltage circuits before performing inspection or maintenance of high voltage system harnesses parts, the removed service plug must always be carried in a pocket of the responsible worker placed, the tool box during the procedure to prevent the plug from being connected by mistake.

Be sure to wear insulated protective equipment before beginning work on high voltage system, never allow workers other than the responsible person to touch the vehicle containing high voltage, never bring the vehicle into the READY status with the service plug removed unless otherwise, hIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS AND EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION.

All the high voltage harnesses and connectors are orange, include an orange high voltage label, hANDLING OF HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS AND TERMINALS, immediately insulate disconnected high voltage connectors and terminals with insulating tape.

REGULATIONS ON WORKERS WITH MEDICAL ELECTRONICS, the vehicle contains parts that contain powerful magnets, pROHIBITED ITEMS TO CARRY DURING THE WORK, hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles contain parts with high voltage and intense magnetic force.

Metal products and magnetic recording media (e, media may lose their magnetic recording, pOSTING A SIGN OF DANGER! HIGH VOLTAGE AREA, high strength steel is used for body panels in order reduce vehicle weight.

Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel described below, rear side member closing plate, rear side member front extension, front side member front assembly.

Front side member closing plate assembly, rear side member extension reinforcement assembly, front side member center extension, front side member rear extension.

Inner front sill reinforcement (Upper & Lower), lower dash crossmember (Upper RH & LH), center pillar seat belt anchor, (Inner center pillar assembly component part).

Inner center pillar assembly (Upper side), outer side roof rail reinforcement, (Lower center pillar brace component part), read the following precautions when repairing HSS.

The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heating is not recommended, because it may weaken the component, verify heating temperature with thermometer, (Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer appropriate, when straightening body panels, use caution pulling any.

Deformation in adjacent sections of the body, increase the number of measuring points, carefully pull, when cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting possible, when welding HSS panels, use spot welding whenever possible in order to minimize weakening surrounding areas due.

If spot welding is impossible, use MIG, gas (torch) for welding because it inferior welding, spot welding on HSS panels is harder than that an ordinary, therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use low.

Speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) increase drill bit, this work should be performed under standard working conditions, the electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according.
