Technical Service Bulletin The adhesive strength of the parking aid bracket is not sufficient. Over time, one or more of the sensor mounts may separate from the rear apron. Figure 1: The parking aid mount has come loose. It is possible for the parking aid sensor(s) to issue false warnings when the mounts start to separate. For a customer concern relating to false detection of obstacles it is important to check each of the sensors on the rear apron for correct installation.

Technical Service Bulletin Production Solution Optimized process during production. Service If one or more of the sensor brackets has come loose from the rear bumper, use the steps below to re-attach the mounts. Note: If the mount is missing or damaged the rear apron will need to be replaced. Prep work: • Remove the rear bumper cover according to the repair manual. Note: If multiple brackets are loose, ensure each bracket stays in the same position. Each mount needs to be re-bonded in the same position and orientation to the rear apron. • Remove the old adhesive tape from bonding surfaces of the rear apron and affected brackets. • Lightly sand/scuff the bonding surfaces of the apron and mount(s). • Clean the rear apron and mount(s) thoroughly with plastic cleaner D 009 401 04 or equivalent (isopropyl alcohol) and allow to dry for 5 minutes. • Apply a thin coating of primer for plastic components D 822 150 A1 to rear apron and bracket, allow to dry for 10 minutes. • Prepare all affected brackets up to this step prior to bonding.

Technical Service Bulletin Bonding the mount(s): Apply plastic adhesive D 180 KU2 A1 to areas marked by arrows between the parking aid bracket and rear apron (Figure 5). • The first 3-5 cm of adhesive from the mixing nozzle may not be properly mixed and must therefore be discarded. Figure 5: Arrows mark location for adhesive. • Tighten knurled nut -3-. • This results in clamp -2- pushing tabs of bracket -4- flat onto rear apron/spoiler -5. • Perform this step for all affected brackets. Figure 6: Mounts compressed to spoiler. • Allow a minimum drying time of 30 minutes before removing the jig. • The rear apron must be left undisturbed during this period and must not be moved. • Re-Install the rear bumper cover and confirm system operation.
