What Does a Malfunction in the Vehicle Pedestrian Protection System Mean?
1 Answers
Pedestrian protection system is designed to automatically pop up the engine hood when the vehicle collides with a pedestrian. A malfunction in the pedestrian protection system means that the engine hood fails to provide a warning when the vehicle hits a pedestrian. Method to reset the pedestrian protection system warning light: First, start the engine; press and hold the "TRIP" button until the mileage and "OIL-LIFE" start flashing, then release the button; sometimes, it may require pressing and releasing the button several times to clear the pedestrian protection system warning light. For the most basic pedestrian protection technology, it mainly involves the application of energy-absorbing materials on the vehicle body, such as energy-absorbing bumpers, soft engine hood materials, and headlights and accessories without sharp edges. Among these, the use of buffer structure design on the engine hood section is a more common practice among domestic automobile manufacturers.
