GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION

Bumpers

The bumper systems are designed to sustain a collision into a fixed barrier at either 8km/h (5 mph) or 4km/h (2.5 mph) without damage.
After absorbing the energy of a collision, these bumper systems restore themselves to their original position. Both the front and the rear bumpers feature an internal foam energy absorber and a polymer fascia cover. The rear bumper fascia must be removed before access can be gained to the energy absorber and the bumper. The front bumper assembly can be removed as a whole unit or the fascia cover can be removed separately.
