When the pedestrian impact sensors detect a

After the pop-up hood is activated, the
power unit components become extremely
hot and can cause burns. Do not touch the
power unit components until they have
cooled.

Do not attempt to open the bonnet after the pop-up
hood system has been activated. After the system
activation, make sure the raised bonnet does not

If the bonnet is not fully closed, it may not work
properly. Make sure the bonnet is fully closed before
