Body Repair Manual
Body Repair Manual
INTRODUCTION
This Body Repair Manual provides detailed repair procedures for repair of commonly dam-
aged structural panels on the Hyundai 2006 SANTAFE(CM). To aid in the information of the
damaged vehicle, body construction, replacement parts, body dimensions, body sealing
locations, corrosion protection, body modification tools, plastic parts and body repair proce-
dures are contained herein.
The repair procedures specify locations where body members may be structurally sectioned.
All of the repair procedures have been performed on Hyundai SANTAFE(CM) body shells
and that is currently available in most auto body repair shops.
The repair procedures illustrated in this manual were developed to simplify body repair in
order to reduce insurance costs, and indirectly, cost of ownership.
The vehicle should not be sectioned in locations other than those illustrated in this repair
manual. Furthermore, these repair procedures DO NOT apply to any other vehicle. The
individuals performing the work must assume full responsibility for the quality of their
workmanship.
We believe this manual to be helpful for Hyundai dealers, and anticipate it to be effectively
used for Hyundai vehicle bodies.
For the services of other than collision-damaged body parts of the Hyundai SANTAFE(CM),
refer to the SANTAFE(CM) shop manual.
The illustrations and descriptive text in this manual were correct at the time of printing.
It is the policy of HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY to continuously improve its products.
Specifications and procedures are subject to change at any time without notice.

GI-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
The repairs described in this manual were performed on SANTAFE body shells. In some instances special fixtures were
welded in place to support the structure. During the repair of an actual vehicle, the interior would be fully disassembled and
standard jack screws or portable braces may be used for temporary support.
During the repair of an accident involved vehicle, the vehicle must first be returned to pre-impact dimensions prior to
beginning the sectioning repair procedures. The extent of damage that must be repaired should then be evaluated to
determine the appropriate repair procedures. This manual provides locations and procedures where structural sectioning
may be employed. It is the responsibility of the repair technician, based upon the extent of damage, to determine which
location and procedure is suitable for the particular damaged vehicle.
During the repair of a collision damaged automobile, it is impossible to fully duplicate the methods used in the factory during
the vehicle manufacture. Therefore, auto body repair techniques have been developed to provide a repair that has
strength properties equivalent to those of the original design and manufacture.

GENERAL INFORMATION GI-3
SRS AIR-BAG
SYSTEM COMPONENT
Clock spring
Front impact sensor PAB
ERKB012A
The Hyundai SANTAFE is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System AIR-BAG to provide the vehicle's driver and/or
the front passenger with additional protection than that offered by the seat-belt system alone, in case of a frontal impact of
sufficient severity.
When handling airbag components (removal, installation or inspection, etc.), always follow the directions given in the repair
manual for the relevant model to prevent the occurrence of accidents and airbag malfunction.
1. Work must be started after approximately 30 seconds or longer from the time the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK
position and the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery. (The airbag system is equipped with a
back-up power source so that if work is started within 30 seconds of disconnecting the negative (-) terminal cable of the
battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative(-) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio systems will be
cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized by the audio memory system. Then when
work is finished, reset the audio system as before and adjust the clock.
2. When using electric welding, first disconnect the air-bag connectors under the steering column near the MULTI-FUNCTION
SWITCH and the passenger's side crash pad before starting work.
3. Store the air-bag modules where the ambient temperature remains below 93 C(200 F), without high humidity and away
from electrical noise.
4. WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached to the periphery of the air-bag components.
Refer to the SANTAFE SHOP MANUAL
GI-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
ELECTRONIC PARTS
Vehicles today include a great many electronic parts and components, and these are in general very susceptible to adverse
effects caused by overcurrent, reverse current, electromagnetic waves, high temperature, high humidity impacts, etc.
In particular such electronic components can be damaged if there is a large current flow during welding from the body side.
Therefore, take the following precautions during body repair to prevent damage to the CONTROL MODULES (ECM, TCM,
ABS CM, SRS CM, etc.)
1. Before removing and inspecting the electrical parts or before starting electric welding operations, disconnect the negative
(-) terminal cable from the battery.
2. Do not expose the CONTROL MODULES to ambient temperatures above 80 C(176 F).
NOTE
If it is possible the ambient temperatures may reach 80 C(176 F) or more, remove the CONTROL MODULES from the
vehicle before starting work.
3. Be careful not to drop the CONTROL MODULES and not to apply physical shocks to them.
A two part epoxy primer was applied to the metal surfaces during the latter part of the repair. For closed sections, such as
front and rear rails, rocker panels and pillars, the primer is applied without applying the metal conditioner and the conversion
coating. These steps are omitted to insure that no rinse water is trapped in the closed sections. The primer application in
followed by an application of an oil or wax based rust proofing material.
After the corrosion restoration process for the closed sections are completed, then the process can be applied to all exterior
sections. For exterior surfaces, both metal conditioner and conversion coating treatments are applied to the exterior surface
prior to application of the epoxy primer. The procedure in applying the corrosion restoration process is important order to
insure that moisture, due to the water rinsing of the metal conditioner and conversion coating is not inadvertently trapped
inside any closed section before the epoxy primer and rust proofing materials have been applied.
Appropriate seam sealers are then applied to all joints. Follow manufacturer's recommendations for the appropriate type of
seam sealer to be used at each seam or joint.

GENERAL INFORMATION GI-5
WELDING
All repairs in this manual require the use of a Metal-Inert Gas (MIG) welder, Gas (oxyacetylene) welding must not be used.
Both high strength steel and mild steel can be welded using the MIG welder. The I-CAR recommendations for welding should
be followed. The shielding gas should be 75% Argon and 25% CO2.
The recommended welding wire size is 0.23" and the wire should satisfy the American Welding Society standard code
AWSER70S-6.
During the repair process, plug welds are used to duplicate original factory spot welds. All plug welds should be done with the
MIG welder. An 8 mm (5/16") hole is placed in the top (welding side) sheetmetal.
You then begin welding along the edges and the spiral towards the center (see illustration). This is important so that weld
penetration between the two metal pieces takes place along the circumference of the circle.

SAFETY FACTORS
Disconnect the negative(-) battery cable before performing any work on the vehicle.
Protect yourself by wearing goggles, earplugs, respirators, gloves, safety shoes, caps, etc. when working on a vehicle.
Safely support the vehicle before any work is done. Block the front or rear wheels if the vehicle is not lifted off of the ground.
Cap or remove the fuel tank when working on the rear section of the car.
Insure proper ventilation of your working area. Some paint and sealant can generate toxic gases when heated. Use an air
chisel or saw to remove damaged panels instead of a gas torch.
Observe all local and national safety regulations when performing any work.
Cover interior with heat-resistant cover to insure safety when welding.
Take care when using gas or cutting torches so as not to burn body sealer or interior. Extinguish immediately if they should
catch fire.

NOTE
• Heat and melt the area indicated.
• Melt the welding rod carefully so that it does not over-melt. If the welding rod over-melts like jelly, the welding
strength will deteriorate.
• Use the heat gun 0.4~0.8 in.(10~20 mm) away from the repair area to be welded.
Welding rod should not move until the welded area is cooled.

4. Grind polypropylene surface carefully. It melts easily due to the heat generated by friction. If melted, remove that area.
Also, grind the area where solvent is to be applied.
5. Apply polypropylene primer evenly with a brush over an area wider than the area to be repaired.
Dry it at 20 C (68 F) for more than 10 minutes.

6. Mix main filler material and hardener at a ratio depending on paint specifications. Mix filler material and apply over the
damaged area.
NOTE
• Mix main filler material and hardener so that no bubbles are made.
• Work immediately after mixing filler material because the filler material hardens quickly(in about 5 minutes).
• Dry it at 20 C (68 F) for about 30 minutes before sanding.
VQPP010
7. Sand the damaged area with sandpaper using #180~#240 grit paper.
NOTE
• The surface will not be even if excessive force is applied during sanding.
• If there is fuzz in the damaged area, heat it a little bit with a heater gun and melt it.
VQPP011
NOTE
Use only water to clean after applying polypropylene primer. Solvent, if used, will melt the primer.
12. Use agent(TCE(Tri Chloro Ethane) degreasing material) to remove any grease or oil, and wipe the finished surface of the
bumper quickly with a clean cloth.
NOTE
• The painting method for the polypropylene bumper is the same used to paint the urethane bumper.
