Note! The tape adheres immediately.

Caution! Incorrect positioning of the sensors may result in partial or complete malfunction.




- Connect the cable harness connectors to the sensors.

Note! A click should be heard when connecting. The noise confirms that the catch has locked.

- Install the sensors in the holders.




- Clean the inside (1) of the bumper cover where the cable harness is to be secured. Use primer (P/N 9192679) on the cleaned surfaces.




- Cut out a recess (1) in the right hand inside of the foam to make room for the cable harness for the sensors
- Reinstall the foam in the bumper cover.




- Secure the cable harness at the embossing in the top edge of the bumper casing, and at the foam on the right-hand side. Use pieces of butyl tape (1) over the primed surfaces.




- Remove the sections of the bumper rail reinforcements on the right-hand side to make room for the cable harness for the sensors. See the illustration.




- Mark out for drilling on the outside of the right hand side of the bumper rail to make holes for the cable harness for the sensors
- Drill out the hole. Use a - 27 mm (1 1/16") diameter hole saw
- File the hole edges.




Make a cut out in the plates on the left and right hand sides in the bumper rail to make room for the outer sensors.

Right-hand side:
- Cut out one plate (1) as illustrated.

Left-hand side:
- Cut out both plates (2).




- Place the bumper rail in the bumper cover above the foam rubber. At the same time route the cable harness (1) through the hole (2) in the bumper rail
- Reinstall the antenna connector (3) in the bumper rail
- Check that the outer sensors are unimpeded by the bumper rail. If not, cut further
- Press the bumper rail into place in the foam in the bumper cover. Ensure that the hooks have engaged. Secure all the catches in the top edge of the bumper.




- Cut off the rubber bushing (1)
- Lift the bumper into position
