Can the Audi Pedestrian Protection System Be Restored After Activation?
1 Answers
Audi's pedestrian protection system cannot be restored after activation. Relevant information about the pedestrian protection system is as follows: 1. Collision Buffer Protection System: The Accord is equipped with an active hinge at the end of the hood. When a collision with a pedestrian occurs, the hinge causes the hood to sink, thereby achieving a buffering effect to reduce injury. Additionally, the front fenders and bumper are designed with extra space to allow for collision impact, also serving as a buffer. It can be said that among all vehicle types, mid-size cars are relatively easier to implement pedestrian protection. This is because their body dimensions (including the front section) can basically ensure that the head contact point during a pedestrian collision is near the center of the windshield. By modifying the energy-absorbing design of this area, the head injury index can be reduced. Therefore, many mid-size cars take full advantage of this feature in their safety designs. 2. Active Hood System: Using hood pop-up technology, the engine is instantly raised during a collision, ensuring that the human body does not hit the hard car shell but instead contacts a soft and smooth surface. Upon detecting a pedestrian collision, the vehicle automatically activates the hood pop-up control module, and the built-in ejection device instantly raises the hood, effectively placing an air cushion beneath the falling pedestrian.
