Pop Up Hood operational conditions
■
The Pop Up Hood will operate when the
vehicle detects an impact such as the fol-
lowing:
The front bumper detects a frontal impact
●
equivalent to or greater than that of a
pedestrian while the vehicle being driven
within the operational speed range of
approximately 25 to 55 km/h (16 to 34
mph). (The system is operated by an
impact of threshold level or greater, even
in the case of a minor collision that may
not leave a trace on the front bumper.
Also, depending on the impact condi-
tions or vehicle speed, the system may
operate by a collision with a light or small
object or a small animal.)
In other situations, such as the following
●
the system may operate when an impact
is applied to the lower part of the vehicle
or front bumper:
• Colliding with a curb
• Falling into a deep hole
• Landing hard
• Hitting the slope of a parking lot, an
undulating road, a protruding object or
falling object
Conditions under which the Pop Up
■
Hood may not operate properly
If a pedestrian collides with the right or
●
left corner of the front bumper or the side
of the vehicle. As such impacts may be
difficult to detect, the system may not
operate.
If the vehicle speed is not detected cor-
●
rectly, such as if the vehicle is sliding side-
ways, the system may not operate
properly.
