  1. REMOVAL

    Symbol Meaning
    A01MATN Remove Weld Points
    A01MAH4 Remove Weld Points
    A01MANE Cut and Join Location
    A01MAJ0 Cut Location for Supply Parts

    1. Do not butt weld or heat repair because the heat decreases the strength of areas where ultra high strength steel is used. (See the introduction)

    2. Reuse A, as the area of the outer panel that is cut and joined is above the supplied part cut position.

      Tech Tips

      Be careful when cutting as foamed sealing material is located near the cutting position.

    3. Carefully cut the center body pillar reinforce sub-assembly lower so as not to damage A and B.

    1. Inspect the fitting of the related parts around the new parts before welding. This affects the appearance of the finish.

    2. Temporarily install the new parts and measure each part of the new parts in accordance with the body dimension diagram. (See the body dimensions)

    3. Due to production issues, there are weld marks where the roof side rail reinforcement outer and rocker reinforce sub-assembly outer contact the center body pillar reinforcement sub-assembly service part.

      *a Ultra High Strength Steel Welding Point - -

        Follow the welding conditions below when welding ultra high strength steel to assure sufficient weld strength. (When repairing this model)

      • When welding 2 panels together including 1500 MPa ultra high strength steel.

        *a: Plug weld Plug diameter 10 mm (0.39 in.)
        Wire type AWS A5.18 ER70S-3
        Shield gas Metal active gas

        Note

        Be sure to use Metal active gas (Ar 80% + CO220%) as the shield gas when plug welding.Sufficient weld strength cannot be assured when using 100% CO2shield gas.

    7. Weld the rear pillar and A to the vehicle side.

      *1 REAR PILLAR - -
      *a Ultra High Strength Steel Welding Point - -

        Follow the welding conditions below when welding ultra high strength steel to assure sufficient weld strength. (When repairing this model)

      • When welding more than 3 panels together including 1500 MPa ultra high strength steel. (When plug welding a third panel to 2 panels which are welded under the conditions described above.)

        *a: Plug weld Plug diameter Same as the standard method (See the introduction)
        Wire type AWS A5.18 ER70S-3
        Shield gas Metal active gas

        Note

        Be sure to use Metal active gas (Ar 80% + CO220%) as the shield gas when plug welding.Sufficient weld strength cannot be assured when using 100% CO2shield gas.

    8. After welding, apply the foamed sealing material to the corresponding parts. (See the painting/coating)

    9. After welding, apply body sealer to the corresponding parts. (See the painting/coating)

    10. After applying the top coat, apply anti-rust agent to the internal panel portion of the closed section structural weld points.
