Bumper and Fascia Description

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.
