Rear Bumper: Description and Operation

The rear bumper has a color matched, moulded polyurethane cover mounted on GMT or aluminum beam dependent upon market. The beams are respectively mounted on two brackets or energy absorbing menasco struts, each of which is located and secured to the BIW by three bolts.

The bumper cover incorporates integral LH and RH support armatures which engage in guide blocks secured to the body by a captive bolt and a nut. Under low speed impact, this configuration enables the bumper to move forward on the guide blocks, preventing rear body damage.

Rear side marker lamps/reflectors are fitted and removed in the same manner as those at front.
