Repairing the triggered active bonnet

A triggered active bonnet must be repaired only by a qualified workshop
purpose.
WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the active bonnet pedestrian protection system cannot overcome the laws of physics, and functions only
within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the active bonnet pedestrian protection system tempt you into
taking any safety risks.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Do not drive faster than up to 80 km/h (50 mph) when the active bonnet has been triggered.
WARNING
Failure to observe illuminated warning lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and can cause accident and
serious injury.
Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is possible and safe to do so.
WARNING
Incorrect repairs and modifications can cause malfunctions and damage to the vehicle and impair the effectiveness of the driver assist
systems. This can result in accidents and severe injuries.
Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop.
WARNING
Incorrect closing of the triggered active bonnet can cause accidents and serious injuries, particularly to the hands.
A triggered active bonnet must be repaired only by a qualified workshop. Never attempt to close the bonnet yourself.
NOTICE
Incorrect closing of the triggered active bonnet can damage the vehicle.
Do not press the active bonnet closed under any circumstances, e.g. by pressing down on the bonnet with your hand. The bonnet and its
hinges could be damaged as a result.
The symbol can differ depending on the version of the instrument cluster.

Notes on driving and assistance systems

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ System limits
An engine and transmission guard may prove useful, depending on the conditions in which the vehicle is to be driven. An engine and
transmission guard can reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle's underbody and engine oil sump, for example when driving over kerbs,
driveways or unsurfaced roads. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
WARNING
Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication or narcotics can cause serious accidents and fatal injuries.
Alcohol, drugs, medication and narcotics can severely impair perception, reaction times and driving safety. This could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle.
