CAUTION
After the hood has lifted, the
rear hood hinge area may be
hot. Do not touch the
pedestrian protection system
components.
The pedestrian protection system
is designed to lift the hood only
once.

enough, the air bags will also
deploy.

will remain in the raised position
and the driver’s view may be

to a collision resulting in
damage to your vehicle, to
other property, personal injury
or even death.

system has deployed, see your
