Pop-up Hood System
About the Pop-up Hood System
The pop-up hood system is designed to help to reduce the possible head injuries of
a pedestrian if they experience a frontal impact with your vehicle.
Your vehicle strikes a pedestrian or other objects at moderate or higher speed.
When the pedestrian impact sensors detect a
certain amount of impact, the pop-up hood
system is activated and the rear of the bonnet
will raise.
The raised bonnet can help to reduce
pedestrian head injuries.
The power units are located in the vehicle
front side of the hinges.

How the System Works
1About the Pop-up Hood System
Do not attempt to open the bonnet after the pop-up
hood system has been activated. After the system
activation, make sure the raised bonnet does not
interfere with visibility, and then drive slowly and
carefully.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, it may not work
properly. Make sure the bonnet is fully closed before
driving.
After the pop-up hood is activated, the
power unit components become extremely
hot and can cause burns. Do not touch the
power unit components until they have
cooled.
