Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Efficient Installation Of Body Panels
Checking Preweld Measurements And Watching
-
Align to the standard reference dimensions, based upon the body dimensions illustration, so that new parts are installed in the correct position.
Welding Notes
-
For the number of weld points, welding should be performed in accordance with the following reference standards.
Spot Welding Notes
-
The shape of the spot welder tip is D=(2?t)+3. If the upper panel thickness is different from that of the under panel, adjust to the thinner one.
-
Because the weld strength is affected by the shape of the spot welder tip, the optimum condition of the tip should always be maintained.
-
Spot welds should be made at points other than the originally welded points.
-
Before spot welding, make a trial weld using the same material as the body panel to check the weld strength.
Checking Weld Strength
-
Installation locations of the engine, chassis, and seat belts are designated as important safety locations for weld strength. Check weld strength by driving a chisel between the panels at every fourth or fifth weld spot, and every tenth regular weld location.
-
Drive the chisel between the panels according to the number of panels as shown below.
-
To determine weld strength, drive the chisel between the panel and check whether the panels come apart. If the panels come apart, make another weld near the original weld.
-
Restore the shape of the checked area.

Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Heater Control
Outline
Based on the control of the A/F sensor heater, a stabilized oxygen concentration
is detected even at low exhaust temperatures, and feedback control of fuel injection
even at cold engine start is made possible for improved cold temperature exhaust
emission performance.

Use this switch to turn on the fog lights.
The fog lights will improve visibility at night and during foggy conditions.
To turn the fog lights on, rotate the fog light switch to the
position.
The headlight switch must be in the
position before turning on the fog lights.
To turn the fog lig ...
