Pop Up Hood precautions
●
Before scrapping your vehicle, make sure
to contact your Lexus dealer.
●
The Pop Up Hood system cannot be
reused once it has operated. Have it
replaced by your Lexus dealer.
■
Pop Up Hood operational conditions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the
vehicle detects an impact such as the fol-
lowing:
●
The front bumper detects a frontal impact
equivalent to or greater than that of a
pedestrian while the vehicle being driven
within the operational speed range of
approximately 25 to 55 km/h (16 to 34
mph). (The system is operated by an
impact of threshold level or greater, even
in the case of a minor collision that may
not leave a trace on the front bumper.
Also, depending on the impact condi-
tions or vehicle speed, the system may be
operated by a collision with a light or
small object or a small animal.)
●
In other situations the system may oper-
ate when an impact is applied to the
lower part of the vehicle or front bumper,
such as the following:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
• Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an
undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object
■
Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood may not operate properly
The Pop Up Hood may not operate prop-
erly under the following conditions:
●
If a pedestrian collides with the right or
left corner of the front bumper or the side
of the vehicle. As such impacts may be
difficult to detect, the system may not
operate.
●
If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-
rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding side-
ways, the system may not operate
properly.
■
Conditions under which the Pop Up
Hood may not operate
The Pop Up Hood may not operate in the
following situations:
●
Colliding with a lying pedestrian
Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal collision
with a body, such as a pedestrian,
the Pop Up Hood system raises the
rear portion of the hood to reduce
the possibility of a serious impact to
the pedestrian’s head area by add-
ing clearance to the engine com-
partment.
When the sensors located at the
back of the front bumper detect an
impact with a body, such as a pedes-
trian, which meets or exceeds the
threshold level while the vehicle is
being driven within the operational
speed range, the system becomes
operational and raises the rear por-
tion of the hood.
