*Some models.
Active Bonnet precautions
*
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 suf¿ cient to activate the system, the
system is activated and the bonnet is raised.

WARNING
If the active bonnet has activated, always consult an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the bonnet release handle is pulled after the active bonnet has activated, the bonnet
will rise even further. If the vehicle is driven with the bonnet raised it will obstruct
visibility and could result in an accident. In addition, do not attempt to push the bonnet
back down. Otherwise, it could deform the bonnet or cause injury because the activated
bonnet cannot be lowered manually. Before driving the vehicle to an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer after the active bonnet has activated, make
sure that the raised bonnet does not obstruct vision and drive the vehicle at a low speed.
