The SERVICE PEDESTRIAN
PROTECTION SYSTEM message
will appear when there is a problem
with the pedestrian protection
system. See your dealer for service
immediately.
During a frontal impact involving a
pedestrian, your vehicle may record
information about the condition of
the vehicle and how it was

Temporary Bonnet Repair
When the RESET HOOD SEE
OWNERS MANUAL message
appears, the bonnet may be
repositioned temporarily if a towing
service is not available.
WARNING
To avoid injury and vehicle
damage, special tools and
procedures are required to
reposition the bonnet. These tools
can be found in the boot.
Before beginning the procedure,
read all the instructions. Failure to
read and follow the instructions
could injure you or others and
damage the vehicle.
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.
WARNING
After the bonnet has lifted, the
rear bonnet hinge area may be
hot. Do not touch the pedestrian
protection system components.
Allow the engine to cool before
attempting any repair.
Removing the Actuators
Notice: Do not open the bonnet
from the front of the vehicle. The
bonnet or other parts of the
vehicle could be damaged.
After the pedestrian protection
system raises the bonnet, a gap is
created between the rear of the
bonnet and the fender.
One accordion shaped stainless
steel bellow actuator should be
visible at each rear corner of the
bonnet.
Before the bonnet can be returned
to the normal position, both the
actuators must be removed.
