nissanjuke Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 JUST NOTICED on my gt that on the bonnet hinge brackets, that it is not a normal bolt on hinge,it has loaded springs etc,can any body tell me what this is? I presume it is a safety feature? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnee Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Its for the pop-up pedestrian safety feature. There are some pryo-technic actuators that push (and break) the hinge to lift the rear edge of the bonnet up. This gives more room for the bonnet skin to deform under a pedestrian hitting it before it contacts the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davectr Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There are impact sensors inside the front bumper which activate them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
