CORROSION PROTECTION
Undercoating
INFOID:0000000006248492
The underside of the floor and wheelhouse are undercoated to prevent rust, vibration, noise and stone chip-
ping. Therefore, when such a panel is replaced or re paired, apply undercoating to that part. Use an undercoat-
ing which is rust resistant, soundproof, vibr ation-proof, shock-resistant, adhesive, and durable.
Precautions in Undercoating
1. Never apply undercoating to any place unless specif ied (such as the areas above the muffler and three
way catalyst that are subjected to heat).
2. Never undercoat the exhaust pipe or other parts that become hot.
3. Never undercoat rotating parts.
4. Apply bitumen wax after applying undercoating.
5. After putting seal on the vehicle, put undercoating on it.
B. Nozzle insert hole

BODY ALIGNMENT
Body Center MarksINFOID:0000000006248507
A mark is placed on each part of the body to indicate the vehicle center. When repairing the vehicle frame
(members, pillars, etc.) damaged by an accident which it enables more accurate and effective repair by using
these marks together with body alignment specifications.
Unit: mm (in)
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006248508
 All dimensions indicated in the figures are actual.
 When using a tracking gauge, adjust both pointers to equal length. Then check the pointers and gauge itself
to make sure there is no free play.
