Sensor
Electronic control unit
In the unlikely event that the vehicle were to hit a pedestrian and a certain amount
of impact is applied to the front of the vehicle, impact to the head of the pedestrian
if it were to hit the bonnet is lessened by the rear area of the bonnet raising
instantly to maintain a wide space between it and the parts in the engine
compartment. If the sensor installed to the back of the front bumper detects a
certain amount of impact by a collision with a pedestrian or other obstruction
while the vehicle is being driven at a speed sufficient to activate the system, the
system is activated and the bonnet is raised.
