ARIYA Bumper Refinishing Requirements
To: Collision Repair Industry
position statement: ARIYA Bumper Refinishing Requirements
Nissan continues to develop some of the most innovative vehicles in the world that are focused on driver and occupant safety. As these vehicles are developed, increased focus on advanced safety systems and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) features will be a natural byproduct of these advancements. Technologies included in these ADAS systems require specialized repair precautions and attention to detail in collision repair.
Improper repairs, excessive paint thickness, and bumpers that are painted more than once may result in system degradation and inaccuracy of the ADAS system, which may cause unintended system warnings or other malfunctions. Please refer to the Electric Service Manual for further details.
Repair materials (such as putties or fillers) may not be added to the original bumper in the side radar zones. Repairs in the area of the radar zones will require bumper replacement with a Genuine Nissan Part.
Metallic paint may be refinished only once using an approved paint and taking care to avoid excessive paint thickness. Certain metallic paint products, identified by an “N” in the chart below, cannot be used in the side radar zones at all. Subsequent repairs will require bumper replacement with a Genuine Nissan Part.
Non-metallic and pearl paint may be refinished only once using an approved paint and taking care to avoid excessive paint thickness. Paint products identified by an “N” in the chart below, cannot be used in the side radar zones at all. Subsequent repairs will require bumper replacement with a Genuine Nissan Part.

At this time, only CONSULT 4 and VI3 can be used on ARIYA. Please reference Pre-and Post-Repair Scanning, Calibrations statement for additional information.
