Front Bumper System
The bumpers are integrated in the vehicle structure. The front and rear one-piece plastic
bumper panels are finished in body color and wrap around as far as the wheel arches.
There are differences between the EU and US country-specific versions due to the differ-
ent legal requirements regarding certain impact speeds (4 and 8 km/h). The front cross-
panel is made entirely of aluminum. The components of the cross-panel are finished in an
electrodeposition dip-coating process.
