General Motors passenger vehicle bumpers are designed to withstand a collision into a fixed barrier at 8 km/h (5 mph). After absorbing the energy of the collision, the energy absorbers rebound to 80-90 percent of their original position. The energy absorbing capability of the front and the rear bumper systems is achieved through a honeycomb or a foam type energy absorbing structure in each bumper.
The following bumper fascias are made of urethane:
• | The front |
• | The rear |
Urethane withstands minor impact and returns to the original shape.
• | The bumper |
• | The fascia |
Be careful around the theft deterrent labels. For more information on the labels, refer to Anti-Theft Labeling in General Information.
