PRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRIN G HIGH STRENGTH STEEL
High Strength Steel (HSS)INFOID:0000000009464964
High strength steel is used for body panel s in order to reduce vehicle weight.
Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel are described below:
SP130 is the most commonly used HSS.
Read the following precautions when repairing HSS.
1. Additional points to consider • The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-
ing is not recommended since it may weaken the component.
When heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above
550 °C (1,022 °F).
Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.
(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometer are appropri-
ate.)
• When straightening body panels, use caution in pulling any HSS panel. Because HSS is very strong, pulling may cause
deformation in adjacent portions of the body. In this case,
increase the number of measuring points, and carefully pull
the HSS panel.
• When cutting HSS panels, avoid gas (torch) cutting if possible. Instead, use a saw to avoid weakening surrounding areas due
to heat. If gas (torch) cutting is unavoidable, allow a minimum
margin of 50 mm (1.97in).

< PRECAUTION >
PRECAUTIONS IN REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL
• When welding HSS panels, use spot welding whenever possi-ble in order to minimize weakening surrounding areas due to
heat.
If spot welding is impossible, use M.I.G. welding. Do not use
gas (torch) welding because it is inferior in welding strength.
• The spot weld on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordi- nary steel panel.
Therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use a low
speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to increase drill bit
durability and facilitate the operation.
2. Precautions in spot welding HSS. This work should be performed under standard working condi-
tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:
• The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according to the metal thickness.
• The panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no gaps.

PROHIBITION OF CUT AND CONNECTION
Do not cut and join the lower lock pillar reinforcement (center pillar reinforcement inside frame parts) because
its material is high strength steel pl ate (ultra high strength steel plate).
The center pillar reinforcement must be replaced if this part is damaged. Thickness (T) Minimum pitch (L)

Foam RepairINFOID:0000000009464966
During factory assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the vehicle.
Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators.
URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS
Use commercially available Urethane foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle.
Read instructions on product for fill procedures.
FILL PROCEDURES
Example of foaming agent filling operation procedure:
1. Fill procedures after installation of service part.
a. Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side.
b. Clean area after eliminating form insulator and foam material.
c. Install service part.
d. Insert nozzle into hole (A) near fill area and fill foam material (1) or fill enough to close gap with the service
part.
2. Fill procedures before installation of service part:
a. Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side.
b. Clean area after eliminating foam insulator and foam material.
c. Fill with enough foam material on the wheelhouse outer side to close the gap with the service part while
avoiding the flange area. 3M™ Au
