         3 . The hot pressed member according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the chemical composition further contains, in mass %, one or more groups selected from   A group: one or more selected from Ni: 0.01% to 5.0%, Cu: 0.01% to 5.0%, Cr: 0.01% to 5.0%, and Mo: 0.01% to 3.0%,   B group: one or more selected from Ti: 0.005% to 3.0%, Nb: 0.005% to 3.0%, V: 0.005% to 3.0%, and W: 0.005% to 3.0%,   C group: one or more selected from REM: 0.0005% to 0.01%, Ca: 0.0005% to 0.01%, and Mg: 0.0005% to 0.01%,   D group: Sb: 0.002% to 0.03%, and   E group: B: 0.0005% to 0.05%.   
     
     
         4 . The hot pressed member according to  claim 1 , comprising
 a coated layer on a surface thereof.   
     
     
         5 . The hot pressed member according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein the coated layer is any of a zinc or zinc alloy coated layer and an aluminum or aluminum alloy coated layer.
