  WARNING
Special standards must be adhered to when replacing bonded assembly frame One of these standards is, for example, that a freshly bonded assembly frame must comply with the safety requirements, even in an accident, following the minimum prescribed curing period.
For installation adhesive -D 190 MKD A3-, the minimum curing period is 3 hours.
The minimum curing period is the time from bonding until the vehicle can be used. During this time, the vehicle must stand on a level surface at room temperature (at least 15 °C).
  WARNING
Vehicle is safe to use only after the curing period is completed.
