Operation of the active hood (pedestrian pro‐
tection)
In certain accident situations, the risk of injury
to pedestrians can be reduced by the actuation
of the active hood. The rear area of the hood is
raised by approximately 3 in (85 mm).
For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig‐
gered active hood yourself. After the active hood
has been triggered, pedestrian protection may
be limited.
A qualified specialist workshop must re-instate
the full functionality of the active hood.
The active hood is not available in all countries.

the rear in the area of the hinges, repeat the
step until it engages correctly.
