vice products. There is a danger of injury.
Allow an overheating engine to cool down
before opening the bonnet. If there is a fire in
the engine compartment, leave the bonnet
closed and notify the fire brigade.

tinue to move or suddenly move again even

Active bonnet (pedestrian protection)
Operating principle
!
An active bonnet that had been triggered
must be repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop. The active bonnet function will
then be available again. The additional pedes-
trian protection provided by the active bonnet
will then be restored.
The active bonnet is available only in certain
countries.
The active bonnet can reduce the risk of injury to
pedestrians in certain accident situations. Rais-
ing the active bonnet increases the clearance to
hard components, such as the engine.
If the active bonnet has been triggered, it is
raised at the rear in the area around the hinges
by approximately 80 mm. The active bonnet is
triggered by pyrotechnics.
For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig-
gered active bonnet yourself. If the active bon-
net has been triggered, pedestrian protection
may be limited.
Resetting

down and only touch the components descri-
