General

A visual inspection of the impact absorber is to be performed on the removed bumper.

Damage can cause changes in the functions and property of the impact absorber and the pedestrian protection sensor.

The crash requirements can then no longer be assured.

Impact absorber with damage

If the impact absorber exhibits pressure marks or cracks, it must always be replaced.

On vehicles with code U60 Pedestrian protection, always replace the pedestrian protection sensor.

Impact absorber without damage

If the impact absorber does not have any pressure marks or cracks, then on vehicles with code U60 Pedestrian protection, visual inspection of the pedestrian protection sensor must be carried out in installed condition.

If the pedestrian protection sensor shows signs of damage of any kind (cracks, holes, kinks etc.), it must always be replaced.
