Pop Up Hood operational conditions
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the vehicle detects an impact such as
the following:
The front bumper detects a frontal impact equivalent to or greater than
that of a pedestrian while the vehicle being driven within the opera-
tional 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 conditions 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 operate 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
CAUTION
When the Pop Up Hood is operated
Do not pull the hood lock release lever. Doing so after the Pop Up Hood has
operated will further raise the hood and may cause an injury.
Do not drive with the hood raised, as doing so may block the driver's vision,
possibly causing an accident.
Do not forcibly push down the hood. As the popped up hood cannot be low-
ered by hand, doing so may deform the hood or cause an injury.
If the Pop Up Hood has operated, have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. If the Pop Up Hood has operated, stop the vehicle in a safe place and
contact authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Do not touch the lifters immediately after the Pop Up Hood has operated, as
the lifters may be hot and burn you.
