Active bonnet (pedestrian protection)
Operation of the active bonnet (pedestrian
protection)
In certain accident situations, the risk of injury
to pedestrians can be reduced by the actuation
of the active bonnet. The rear area of the engine
bonnet is raised by approximately 85 mm.
For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig‐
gered active bonnet yourself. If the active bonnet
has been triggered, pedestrian protection may
be limited.
A qualified specialist workshop must re-instate
the full functionality of the active bonnet.
The active bonnet is not available in all coun‐
tries.
Resetting the active bonnet

component parts in the engine compart‐
ment
Certain component parts in the engine com‐

Let the engine cool down and only
#
touch the component parts described
below:
With your hand flat, push down active bonnet
#
1 in the area around the hinges on both
sides (arrows).
The engine bonnet must engage in position.
If the active bonnet can be raised slightly at
#
the rear in the area of the hinges, repeat the
step until it engages correctly.
