Manual DescriptionBODY EXTERIOR, DOORS, ROOF & VEHICLE SECURITY, (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER" 3, handling of Ultra High Strength Steel Plate Parts 6, coat, Black is solvent based, all others water based.
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" "SEAT BELT, the Supplemental Restraint System such as AIR BAG” and SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along, with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger certain, to avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury death.
The event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by, improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead personal, injury caused by unintentional activation of the system, pRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS.
When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Ignition ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electric power tools or strike near sensor(s) with, when using air or electric power tools or hammers, always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect, battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service, pRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL.
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, is the most commonly used HSS, read the following precautions when repairing HSS.
The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heating is not recommended since it may weaken component, when heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above, verify heating temperature with thermometer, (Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer appropriate.
When straightening body panels, use caution pulling any, deformation in adjacent portions 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 M, gas (torch) welding because it is inferior welding strength, the spot weld on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordinary steel panel.
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, handling of Ultra High Strength Steel Plate Parts, its material is high strength steel plate (ultra high strength steel plate).
The center pillar reinforcement must be replaced if part damaged, during factory assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around vehicle, use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators, 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 (A) near fill area and fill foam material (1) or fill enough to close gap with service, fill procedures before installation service part.
Clean area after eliminating foam insulator foam material, fill with enough foam material on the wheelhouse outer side to close the gap with service part while, refer to the label on the urethane foam container information.
