2009 JAGUAR XF Start engine

Pedestrian protection
66

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The pedestrian protection system has been
designed to reduce lower leg and head injuries
in the event of a frontal collision with a
pedestrian.
The bumper includes energy absorbing foam
and plastics in its cons truction to reduce leg
injuries and sensors th at detect the collision
with a pedestrian.
Deployment
During a pedestrian co llision, the sensors
initiate a bonnet deploy ment system that
releases the bonnet hinge system and raises
the rear edge of the bonnet by approximately
130 mm (5.1 inches).
This increases the gap between the bonnet and
the components within the engine
compartment e.g. engine, suspension etc. This
increased gap creates a cushion to mitigate
injury caused to the pedestrian.
The bonnet deployment system is active only
when the ignition is on and the vehicle is driven
between the speeds of approximately 20 km/h
(12 mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph).
AFTER DEPLOYMENT OF THE
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is
safe to do so.
The hazard warning lamp s will be activated and
can only be switched off by pressing the engine
START/STOP button to turn the engine off and
on again.
A warning message CHECK PEDESTRIAN
SYSTEM will appear on the message centre
and the vehicle should be transported to the
nearest Dealer/Author ised Repairer. The
vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet
has been deployed. See Vehicle recovery
(page 253).
Note: If the warning message CHECK
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM appears in the message
centre when the bonnet ha s not been deployed,
the vehicle should be taken to the nearest
Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately. It can
be driven.
If any significant damage occurs to the front
bumper it should be inspected by a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.
