WARNING: High-strength steel (Usibor
1500)

• A suitably powerful resistance spot welding

device with inverter technology must be
used for this repair. Observe the
manufacturer's welding equipment
instructions and sub-section 501-25.

• The B-pillar reinforcement is made of

high-strength steel plate (Usibor 1500).

• A partial replacement of the B-pillar

reinforcement is not permissible. The
required continuous MIG weld seam in the
area of the cut causes structural changes
which result in significant loss of strength in
the B-pillar reinforcement.

• Due to its strength, the B-pillar reinforcement

can not always be worked on with
conventional body tools.

• Additional preparations are required for MIG

puddle welding.
