In addition, the front bumper of your
vehicle was designed to reduce the
injury to a pedestrian's legs.
WARNING
When the pedestrian protection
system is deployed, the bonnet
will lift quickly and forcefully.
Anyone who is up against or very
close to, the lifting bonnet could
be seriously injured.
WARNING
After the bonnet has lifted, the
rear bonnet hinge area may be
hot. Do not touch the pedestrian
protection system components.
The pedestrian protection system is
designed to lift the bonnet
only once.
Have the vehicle towed for service.
If the frontal impact is serious
enough, the air bags will also
deploy. See Airbag System on
page 3 19 for more information.
After the pedestrian protection
system has deployed, the bonnet
will remain in the raised position and
the driver's view may be reduced by
the raised bonnet.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle when the
rear of the bonnet is raised.
Operating your vehicle with the
rear of the bonnet raised can lead
to a collision resulting in damage
to your vehicle, to other property,
personal injury or even death.
Notice: After the pedestrian
protection system has deployed,
see your dealer for service. The
bonnet must be replaced.
The RESET HOOD SEE OWNERS
MANUAL message will appear.
