WARNING
If the spot welds cannot be made as they were ori-
ginally using an electrical spot welding machine,
they should be replaced with plug welds after holes
have been drilled in the first panel.

IMPORTANT
To avoid damaging the vehicle's electric and elec-
tronic components, the battery and the earths of
any wiring harness near the weld area must be dis-
connected.
The earth of the welding machine must be placed
as close as possible to the weld area.

CENTRE LOWER STRUCTURE
Front cross member under front seat: General description41B
DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
This is a basic part; its function is to secure the front
section of the front seat and to stiffen the bodywork in
the event of a side impact.Note:
The information contained in the following descri-
bes the general repair procedure for all vehicles
having the same design for this part.
Before reading this general information, check that
there are no special notes associated with this vehi-
cle. These special notes will be specified if applica-
ble in other parts of this subsection dealing with the
par t.
Note:
For a detailed description of a particular connec-
tion, see MR 400.

WARNING
If the mating faces of the parts to be welded are not
accessible, make EGW plug welds to replace the
original resistance welds (see MR 400).

WARNING
To avoid damaging the vehicles electric and electro-
nic components, the earths of any wiring harness
near the weld area must be disconnected.
Position the earth of the welding machine as closely
as possible to the weld area (see MR 400).

Rear cross member under front seat: General description41B
DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
This is a basic part. It serves as a mounting for the rear
part of the front seat and to rigidify the body in the
event of a side impact.Note:

bes the general repair procedure for all vehicles
having the same design for this part.
Before reading this general information, check that
there are no special notes associated with this vehi-
cle. These special notes will be specified if applica-
ble in other parts of this subsection dealing with the

SIDE LOWER STRUCTURE
Sill panel: General description
41C
I - DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
The special feature of this part is that it is butt welded
by laser on the lower section with two types of panels
and two different thicknesses.
This part is removed by cutting into the complete body
side. This part fulfils the basic function of the sill panel.
It can be replaced partially by following the cuts descri-
bed as follows.Note:
The information contained in the following descri-
bes the general repair procedure for all vehicles
having the same design for this part.
Before reading this general information, check that
there are no special notes associated with this vehi-
cle. These special notes are specified if necessary
in other parts of the sub-section dealing with the
component.
Note:
For a detailed description of a particular connec-
tion, (see MR 400).

The lines (1) and (4) mark the areas for the partial re-
placement of the front of the sill panel.
The lines (2) and (6) mark the cutting areas for the par-
tial replacement of the rear of the sill panel.
The lines (4) and (8) mark the cutting areas for the par-
tial replacement of the sill panel section under the door.
Previous cuts can be used to carry out more extensive
partial replacements:
-front partial replacement, cut (1) , (2) and (5)
-Rear partial replacement, cut (2) , (3) and (4) .
These operations allow you to access the inside of the
hollow section of the structural element to straighten it.
IV - ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR A PARTIAL
REPLACEMENT
Only the connections which are specific to the partial
replacement by cutting are indicated.

If there are other issues regarding access to mating fa-
ces, the various replacement options are described in
the basic instructions for structural bodywork repair
(see MR 400).
Lines (1) , (2) and (5) on the drawing show a butt weld
by continuous EGW welding.
The welds described in this procedure are all identical.WARNING
If the mating faces of the parts to be welded are not
accessible, make EGW plug welds to replace the
original resistance welds (see MR 400).
