Changan CS95 (2nd generation): Front Bumper Removal

The front bumper on the CS95 is held by plastic clips, self-tapping screws and bolts along the top edge, in the wheel arches and along the bottom. Fog lights, washer nozzles, parking sensors and, most likely, a driver-assistance radar or camera are connected to it. A step-by-step procedure for this facelift is not documented in publicly available service materials, so the sequence below is the general order for crossovers in this class. Check fastener locations visually on the vehicle.

  • plastic trim removal tools
  • flat plastic pry tool
  • jack and jack stands or a lift
  • container for fasteners
  • masking tape

Step by step

11 steps
  1. Park the vehicle on level ground, shut off the engine and remove the key. Open the hood. Disconnect the negative battery terminal to protect the electronics when you unplug connectors. After disconnecting, wait 5-10 minutes.
  2. Raise the front of the vehicle onto jack stands or on a lift. This gives you access to the lower fasteners. If you remove the wheels, the stands must sit securely under the body.
  3. Remove the lower engine shield or plastic splash guard, if fitted. To do this, remove the screws and bolts around the perimeter. Put the fasteners in a container and remember where each one came from.
  4. Remove the fender liner fasteners: the screws and push pins that connect the front fender liners to the bumper. On crossovers it is usually enough to pull back the front part of the liner. If it gets in the way, remove the wheel and take the liner off completely.
  5. With the hood open, remove the upper trim panel or radiator cover, if fitted. Push out the center pins of the push pins with a flat screwdriver or a trim tool, then pull out the push pins themselves. Then remove the upper bolts and screws that secure the bumper to the radiator support.
  6. If a radiator grille is installed and it prevents bumper removal, take it off. The grille is usually held by clips and a few screws. Pry the clips with a plastic pry tool without jerking, or they will break.
  7. Remove the fasteners on the sides: the bolts or screws near the fender and the front of the wheel arch. These points secure the edges of the bumper to the fenders. Flex the edge of the bumper outward by hand and check that nothing is still holding it.
  8. Disconnect the connectors on the inner side of the bumper: fog lights, parking sensors, the outside air temperature sensor, and the headlight washer nozzles, if fitted. Press the locking tab on each connector and pull the connector itself, not the wires. If there is a radar or camera, unplug their connectors, and do not remove the sensors from their brackets unless necessary. The radar's position during installation affects driver-assistance performance.
  9. Photograph the harness and connector layout or label them with tape. This will speed up reassembly.
  10. With a helper, pull the bumper forward, starting at the sides, until the clips come out of the guides. Do not pull on the lower spoiler or trim pieces. Lower the bumper onto a soft pad so you don't scratch the paint.
  11. Installation is the reverse of removal: first engage the side guides and clips, then the upper points, then the lower ones. Connect the connectors before final fastening. Tighten small bumper fasteners without much force, about 5-10 N·m (4-7 lb-ft) (exact value per the manufacturer's specification), or you can strip the plastic bosses. Reconnect the battery and check the fog lights, parking sensors and driver-assistance systems.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • Do not apply pressure to the plastic when it is cold in freezing weather: in the cold, clips and bosses break
  • If the bumper has an adaptive cruise control radar or a camera, check after installation that there are no errors on the instrument cluster
  • If there are, calibration is needed at a repair shop with diagnostic equipment
  • Never work under a raised vehicle without jack stands
