Locations Using Urethane Foam and Foam Material

LOCATIONS USING URETHANE FOAM AND FOAM MATERIAL

- Introduction of noise was prevented by inserting urethane foam inside the center pillar.
- Introduction of noise was prevented by adding foam noise absorbing materials inside each pillar, side roof rail and wheel house arch interior.
- High rigidity foam materials were added inside the front sidemember (LH only) to heighten panel rigidity.

CAUTION: Precautions upon sheet metal processing the areas using foam materials.

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 is residual foam materials remaining on the cut section (body side) then weld after removing the foam materials from periphery of the welding area.
