Pop Up Hood
In the event of a frontal collision
with a body, such as a pedestrian,
the Pop Up Hood system raises the
hood to reduce the possibility of a
serious impact to the pedestrian's
head area by adding clearance to
the engine compartment.
When the sensors located at the
back of the front bumper detect a
frontal 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 operates.
