Manual Description
BODY EXTERIOR, DOORS, ROOF & VEHICLE SECURITY, < FEATURES OF NEW MODEL >, 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.

Front side member closing plate assembly, 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, the panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no, follow the specifications for proper welding pitch, during factory body assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels locations around.

Use commercially available Urethane foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used vehicle, automix™ Flexible Foam 08463 equivalent, read instructions on product fill procedures, example of foaming agent filling operation procedure.

Fill procedures after installation service part, eliminate foam material remaining vehicle side, clean area after eliminating form insulator foam material, insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material or fill enough to close gap with service part.

Fill procedures before installation service part, clean area after eliminating foam insulator foam material, fill foam material wheelhouse outer side, fill enough to close gap with service part while avoiding flange.

Refer to label for information working times, lower rear hoodledge (RH & LH), : Both sided anti-corrosive precoated steel sections, : High strength steel (HSS) sections.

: Both sided anti-corrosive steel HSS sections, for the parts without a number described in the figure, it is supplied only with the assembly part that the part included with, side body assembly (RH & LH), outer front side body (RH & LH).

Lower front pillar hinge brace (RH &, lower front pillar reinforcement assembly (RH & LH), a mark is placed on each part of the body to indicate the vehicle center, these marks together with body alignment specifications.

All dimensions indicated in figures actual, when using a tracking gauge, adjust both pointers to equal length, to make sure there no free play, when a measuring tape is used, check that there is no elongation, twisting, bending.

Measurements should be taken at the center mounting holes, an asterisk (*) following the value at the measuring point indicates that the measuring point other side, ″Z″: Imaginary base line [200 mm (7.
