These labels show the location of the hood
lifters for service and emergency personnel.
The deployable hood system is active only
when you switch the ignition on and drive
the vehicle between the speeds of about
20 km/h (12 mph) and 50 km/h (31 mph).
After Deployment
After an impact that has activated the
deployable hood system, the deployable
hood system raises and remains
permanently attached to the vehicle, by
the hood hinges and latch. Do not drive the
vehicle when the hood has been deployed.
If the deployable hood system has been
activated, stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so, and transport the vehicle to
the nearest authorized dealer.
If the readiness lamp lights and
stays on, transport the vehicle to
the nearest authorized dealer.
You can open the hood using the hood
latch after the deployable hood has been
triggered. Make sure the hood is securely
closed and latched before transporting the
vehicle to the nearest authorized dealer.
Deployable Hood Monitoring System
The deployable hood system does not
require routine maintenance.
If a fault is detected in the
system, the monitoring system
turns on the readiness indicator
in the instrument cluster.
