Pedestrian Protection
System
Your vehicle is equipped with a
pedestrian protection system which is
designed to lift the bonnet when a
pedestrian is detected during a frontal
impact within the approximate speed
range.
When the vehicle is involved in a
frontal impact with an object or a
pedestrian, sensors in the front
bumper determine the force applied
by the object to the front bumper.
When the frontal impact speed is
approximately between 22 km/h
(14 mph) and 50 km/h (31 mph), the
pedestrian protection system lifts the
bonnet to help reduce pedestrian head
injuries. Lifting the bonnet creates
more clearance between the bonnet
and the hard components in the
engine compartment.
In addition, the front bumper of the
vehicle was designed to help reduce
the injury to a pedestrian's legs.
