FOAMING MATERIAL USAGE LOCATIONS

M4010006000033

•

Introduction of noise was prevented by inserting 
urethane foam inside the front pillar and rear 
spring bracket support.

•

By filling the roof rail, the front pillar, center pillar, 
rear pillar and inside the wheelhouse arch with 
foam acoustic material, penetration of noise is 
prevented.

CAUTION

The foam materials may burn when heated. 
Always observe the following instructions.

•

Never use a gas burner or burn the areas 
using foam materials.

•

When cutting the parts using foam materials, 
ensure to use tools (air saw, etc.) that do not 
generate fire.

•

If there are residual foam materials at body 
side then weld after removing the foam mate-
rials from periphery of the welding area.

STIFFENER AND DUMP SHEET APPLICATION LOCATIONS

STIFFENER AND DUMP SHEET APPLICATION LOCATIONS

M4010009000032

Sound insulation was improved with anti-vibration 
effects and heightening surface rigidity with a stiff-
ener on the inner side of the side outer panel, as well 
as a damping sheet adhered to the inner side of the 
side outer panel, rear quarter inner panel lower, roof 
panel and trunk lid outer panel.

NOTE: . The main contents of a stiffener are epoxy 
resin. It comes in a sheet form and contains a mix-
ture of glass fiber and filler, and cures (stiffens) when 
heated. It is used to improve the rigidity of the outer 
plate.

THEFT PROTECTION

M4010017000060

THEFT PROTECTION

.  In order to protect against theft, a Vehicle Identification Number 

(VIN) is attached as a plate or label to the following major parts 
of the engine and transaxle, as well as main outer panels:
Engine cylinder block, Transaxle housing, Fender, Doors, 
Trunk lid, Rear quarter outer panel, Hood, Bumpers
In addition, a theft-protection label is attached to replacement 
parts for the body outer panel main components, and the same 
data is stamped into replacement parts for the engine and the 
transaxle.

CAUTION

Cautions regarding panel repairs:

1. When repainting original parts, do so after first masking 

the theft-protection label. After painting, be sure to peel 
off the masking tape.

2. The theft-protection label for replacement parts is cov-

ered by masking tape, so such parts can be painted as 
is. The masking tape should be removed after painting 
is finished.

3. The theft-protection label should not be removed from 

original parts or replacement parts.
