Operation of the active bonnet (pedestrian
protection)
In certain accident situations, the risk of injury
to pedestrians can be reduced by the actuation
of the active bonnet. The rear area of the engine
bonnet is raised by approximately 70 mm.
For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig‐
gered active bonnet yourself. After the active
bonnet has been triggered, pedestrian protection
may be limited.
A qualified specialist workshop must re-instate
the full functionality of the active bonnet.
The active bonnet is not available in all coun‐
tries.
