Vehicle speed at impact is less
than 22 km/h (14 mph) or
greater than 50 km/h (31 mph).
The vehicle impacts a small
object.
For other frontal impacts or vehicle
speeds, the airbags may 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 the vehicle with the
rear of the bonnet raised can
obstruct your view and may
cause a collision resulting in
damage to the 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.
If towing service is not available, the
bonnet may be repositioned
temporarily. See Temporary Bonnet
Repair later in this section for more
information.
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, the vehicle may record
information about the condition of
the vehicle and how it was
operated. See Vehicle Data
Recording and Privacy on
