GENERAL INFORMATION

Vehicle on repair bench: Description 40A


I - MAIN FRONT TRIM-SETTING REFERENCE Use this situation for a frontal impact with removal of
POINTS the mechanical components.

1 - Front sub-frame in place Note:


If it is suspected that one of these points may be
deformed, use two additional points located in an
area not affected by the impact in order to confirm
trim-setting.

II - SECONDARY FRONT TRIM-SETTING


REFERENCE POINT

136905

The jig covers the front subframe rear bolt (A) .

Use this situation for a rear impact or a light frontal im-


pact without removal of the mechanical components.

2 - Front mechanical components removed


144419
The jig covers the radiator mounting cross member bolt
(C)
Use this situation to confirm trim-setting in the event of
a rear impact (for example: to replace a rear side mem-
ber assembly).
The secondary reference is used to confirm the vehicle
trim-setting if deformation of a main front reference
point is suspected.

136906

The bracket rests under the subframe mounting unit


and is centred in the hole (B) .

WARNING
To avoid damaging the vehicles electric and elec-

Position the earth of the welding machine as close
as possible to the weld area (see Bolted connec-
