Active bonnet

Pedestrian protection system can

help to reduce the injury of

pedestrians in case of a front

collision.
When the sensors in the front bumper

detect a certain impact within the

speed range of 25 km/h to 50 km/h,

the rear part of the bonnet will be lifted

to reduce pedestrians head injuries.
In addition the front bumper is

designed to reduce leg injuries of

pedestrians.
The active bonnet can be triggered

only once and remains in the raised

position. A message is displayed in

the Driver Information Centre.
Seek the assistance of a workshop as

soon as possible, thereby adapting

the driving style, to have the

actuators, hinges and bonnet

replaced.

range.
