41 00... Assessment Of Damage On The Body
The body of I01 consists of Drive module and Life module.
The Drive module consists of components in aluminium.
The Life module primarily consists of components in carbon fibre reinforced plastics (carbon).
Components in aluminium are damaged first when damages occur to the front part.
Components in carbon may be damaged when damages occur to the side parts or to the rear part.
Perform following steps to assess the damage:
- Remove any add-on parts in the area of damage.
- Check components.
- Check FIT
If one of the following criteria is fulfilled, the backrest frame must be replaced!
- Activated end fitting pretensioner
- Unclipped outer cover
- Torn outer cover
- Faulty clip connection to outer cover
- Determine scope of repair work.
When damages are present on the outer side frame (1), minimum distances between the damage (2) and the separation point (3) must be observed.
Step 1:
No damage may be visible in the distance a from the separation cut.
Dimension (A) = 200 mm.
Damages smaller than 2 mm are permitted in this area.
Step 2 (measurement of damage size):
Measure dimensions of damage in all directions. Multiply the greatest dimension by 2.
If the distance a between the damage (2) and the separation point (3) is less than the calculated value, the next largest repair area must be replaced.
- Perform repair according to repair instructions.
If two or more repair areas have to be replaced at the same time, proceed in accordance with the procedure set out in the individual repair instructions. No severance cuts between the repair areas.
