How to Turn Off the Accord's Pedestrian Protection System?

[SanStephen]

The Accord's pedestrian protection system cannot be turned off. The system is preset to remain active from the factory, and even a visit to the 4S store will not allow this function to be disabled. Here is more information about the pedestrian protection system: 1. This system is also known as active hood technology, developed to reduce injuries to pedestrians during low-speed collisions. 2. When a collision between the front of the car and a pedestrian occurs while driving, the hood will lift and rise to a certain position at the critical moment, cushioning the impact. A pressure sensor in front of the car's bumper detects whether a collision with a pedestrian has occurred. 3. The pedestrian protection device is not only triggered during collisions; severe impacts under the vehicle, high-speed driving over speed bumps or large potholes, or objects hitting the pedestrian collision sensor may also activate the system. 4. After the introduction of this technology in Europe, traffic accident fatality rates decreased by 50%. It is hoped that similar positive effects can be achieved in China, reducing the probability of traffic accidents.
