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 adding
clearance to the engine compartment.
Pop Up Hood mechanism
When the sensors located at the back of the front bumper detect an impact
with a body, such as a pedestrian, 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 portion of the hood.
