IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Proper service methods and repair procedures are essential for safe, reliable operation of all
motor vehicles as well as personal safety of the operator. The service procedures and
descriptions in this shop manual provide general directions for a service and repair.
Procedure, techniques, tools, and parts for service including the skill of the technician vary.
It is impossible to provide advice or caution as to each case in this manual.
Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a replacement part, service procedure, or tool, which is
not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, must first assure thoroughly that neither their
personal safety nor the safe operation of the vehicle will be first jeopardized by the replacement
part, service procedure, or tool they select.
IN THIS MANUAL
WARNING :
CAUTION :
NOTE :
The following list contains some general WARNINGS that you should follow while working on a
vehicle.
Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle.
Make sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by
the procedure.
Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle. If you have an automatic transaxle, set in
park unless instructed otherwise for a specific operation
Place supporters against the front and rear surfaces of the tires to help prevent the vehicle
from moving
Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is running,
especially the drive belts.
To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust
manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
Do not smoke while working on a vehicle.
To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry, and loose clothing
before beginning to work on a vehicle.
When it is necessary to work under the hood, keep hands and other objects clear of the
radiator fan blades! Your vehicle may be equipped with a cooling fan that may turn on, even
though the ignition switch is in the OFF position. For this reason care should be taken to
ensure that the radiator fan electric motor is completely disconnected when working under the
hood and the engine is not running.
Remind you to be especially careful in those areas where carelessness can
cause personal injury.
To prevent you from making errors that could damage the vehicle as well as
personal injury.
Gives you added information that will help you complete a particular procedure.

WELDING PROCEDURES
Observe the following tips when welding.
1.Wear appropriate eye protection.
2.Carefully follow the manufacturers operating
instructions for the welding machine you are using.
3.Do not weld, smoke or allow open flames around
volatile chemicals, cleaners or solvents or in any area
where they have just been used.
BODY FRAME STRAIGHTENER
When using a frame straightener, do not enter the area
where the body is being straightened by the chain.
ELECTRICAL PROCEDURES
1.Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2.Do not pull on wires when disconnecting electrical
connectors. Be careful to hold the connector itself when
disconnecting it.
3.Insert the connector until it "licks" when connecting
the connector.
4.Handle all electrical components with care.

DISASSEMBLY
Measuring dimensions before beginning
Measure the dimensions of the damaged area according to the body dimension drawings before disassembling and repairing.
Adjust dimensions with body frame adjuster if deformed.
Selecting cutting area
Select a cutting area that is easily accessible and that is prone to the least amount of distortion when welding.
Select an area that would allow the new part to overlap repair area by 1.2~2.0 in (30~50 mm).
Protecting body from damage
Secure the body with clamps and jacks to prevent damage to the body when working on it.
BVQGI6005
GENERAL INFORMATIONGI-5
Disassembling related parts
Use caution when removing body molding and trim from
the area to be worked.
Apply masking tape where needed to prevent damage to
the part being removed or to the vehicle body.
Before starting repairs, check if pipes, hoses or electrical
components are present near damaged area.

GI-6GENERAL INFORMATION
PREPARATION OF ASSEMBLY
Applying spot sealer
Remove paint from the surf ace of new parts and body to be spot welded, and apply spot sealer for rustproofing.
Selecting a welding method
If the thickness of the area to be welded with the panels overlapped is greater than 0.1 in (3 mm), do plug welding using a
carbon arc welding machine.
Protecting body from damage
Secure the body with clamps and jacks to prevent damage to the body when working on it.
Thicker than
0.1 in (3mm)
Machining holes for plug welding
Drill a hole of approximately 0.2~0.24 in (5~6 mm) in
diameter in those areas which are not suitable for spot
welding.
BVQGI6008
BVQGI6007
Adjusting a new part
The new part should be cut larger than the repair area,
overlapping the repair area by 1.2~2.0 in (30~50 mm).

ASSEMBLY
Measuring dimensions before welding
When assembling a new part, assemble it according to the body dimensions given in Section 31, and start welding after
checking the gaps with nearby parts.
Caution when welding
The number of welding points should be determined based on the criteria below:
Spot weldingPlug welding
Increase the number of
spot welds by 30%.
Pitch:
2.0 in (50 mm)
Old part
Pitch:
1.4 in (35 mm)
Repair part
Pitch: Same number of
welds as original part.
Repair part
more than
0.1 in (3 mm)
BVQGI6010
Caution when spot welding
The tip of the spot welding machine should be maintained to a minimum of 0.1 in (3 mm) because it greatly affects welding
strength. When possible , spot welding should be done between the existing spot welded points .
Before and after spot welding, weld a test piece(test pin) of the same material as the body panel, and check the welding
strength.

1.Basically, all measurements in this manual are taken
with a tracking gauge.
2.When a measuring tape is used, check to be sure
there is no elongation, twisting or bending.
3.For measuring dimensions, both projected dimension
and actual-measurement dimension are used in this
manual.
MEASUREMENT METHOD
PROJECTED DIMENSIONS
1.These are the dimensions measured when the
measurement points are projected into the reference
plane, and are the reference dimensions used for body
alterations.
2.If the length of the tracking gauge probes are
adjustable, make the measurement by lengthening one
probe by the amount equivalent to the difference in
height of the two surfaces.

Projected Dimension
BMCBD6001
BODY DIMENSIONSBD-3
N
ACTUAL-MEASUREMENT DIMENSIONS
1.These dimensions indicate the actual linear distance
between measurement points, and are the reference
dimensions for use if a tracking gauge is used for
measurement.
2.Measure by first adjusting both probes to the same
length (A=A')
CAUTIO
Check the probes and gauge itself to make sure
there is no free play .
