The forward bumper is executed in such a manner that it maintains without damages a head-on collision at speed to 4 km/hour. Thus energy of blow is perceived through an aluminium beam being inside and two hydraulic shock-absorbers. Shock-absorbers fasten to two easily replaced deformed elements, so-called shock боксам. At speed to 15 km/hour energy of blow is perceived by deformation of shock-absorbers and shock боксов in such a manner that damage of a beam of fastening of the engine is excluded.

 REMOVAL

1 Turn away bolts of fastening-2 peaks of an arch of a wheel-1.

Turn out an additional bolt in a forward part from below. The bolt on an illustration is not shown.

2 Disconnect and remove a forward peak of an arch of a wheel.

3 Turn away bolts of fastening-3 bumpers-1 to shock-absorbers from below through two apertures-2. 4 – licence plate, 5 – an antifog headlight. For отворачивания head Torx, for example, HEZET-880-Mlg-Torx-E2 with extension piece HAZET-8822-10 and if necessary a tetrahedral adapter 958-2 with 5/8 on 1/2 inches is required.

11 Expose a bumper in parallel to a body and fix the moment 40 Nm.

12 Distance between a bumper and a body should make And = 5 ± 1 mm. Otherwise remove a bumper and adjust height of a bumper at shock-absorbers.

13 Height of a bumper is regulated by rotation of plastic inserts with internal hexahedronом-5 in shock-absorbers-1. 2 – nuts, 3 – nuts, 4 – connectors.
14 Insert forward peaks of arches of wheels and fix their bolts.
