9O – 14IBUMPERS AND FASCIAS
DAEWOO V–121 BL4
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
BUMPERS
The bumper systems are designed to sustain a collision
into a fixed barrier at either 8 km/h (5 mph) or 4 km/h (2.5
mph) without damage. After absorbing the energy of a col-
lision, these bumper systems restore themselves to their
original position. Both the front and the rear bumpers fea-
ture an internal foam energy absorber and a polymer fas-
cia cover. The rear bumper fascia must be removed before
access can be gained to the energy absorber and the
bumper impact bar. The front bumper assembly can be re-
moved as a whole unit or the fascia cover can be removed
separately.
