Painting Bumpers with Short Range Radar
When performing filling and painting work on the bumpers, it is important to ensure that the maximum paint coat thickness is not exceeded at the short
range radar sensors. This can lead to malfunctions as the sensors detect the excessive paint coat thickness as an obstacle. The limit value for the paint
coat thickness at the sensors is two coats of paint (primer, color and clear).
Note:

This condition is not covered by warranty.

If the short range radar does not function correctly after painting, either the paint must be removed or the bumper must be replaced.
