Body Repair Information
USE OF HEAT DURING BODY STRAIGHTENING AND REPAIR
When you are doing body straightening and repair procedures:
• DO NOT apply heat to any body part during straightening.
Th
is may compromise the internal structure and strength
of high-strength steel parts.
• Any part that has heat applied to it during straightening
MUS
T be replaced with new parts.
• Ignoring these instructions may significantly reduce
occ
upant protection in any subsequent collision.
SECTIONING (CUT AND JOINT) GUIDELINES
Because of body structure improvements for collision
safety and rigidity, the materials, steel thickness, and
internal reinforcements have become very specific.
Follow these guidelines to avoid an unsafe repair:
• Avoid sectioning (cut and joint) except for outer
panels
and floor panels unless a specific procedure is provided
in the body repair manual.
• Replace body structural components as assemblies
that
match the replacement parts configuration.
• Refer to “F
ront Side Frame and Rear Frame Cutting
and Splicing” in the body repair manual for sectioning
opportunities.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION (BSI) SYSTEM
Models equipped with this system can be identified by
this BSI Alert Indicator, located on both front doors near
the outside rearview mirror.
• The system uses two radar units mounted on each
si
de of the vehicle under the rear bumper.
• The system may m
alfunction and set DTCs because
of damage, improper repairs, or excessive foreign
material on any of the following:
• Rear bumper
• Outer side panels
• Radar unit mounting locations
• Several checks and inspections must be done during
repai
rs to the radar unit mounting area. Procedures to
check the BSI radar unit mounting area can be found:
• Body repair manual “Rear Side Outer Panel Installation”
• Service Manual “BSI radar unit mounting area chec
k.”
• If the mounting area check is not done, an Acura dealer
may
not be able to properly aim the radar units.
