• An impact absorbing space has been secured in
between the hood and engine upper section,
reducing a risk of injury to a pedestrian's head
area upon a collision.
• The shape and opening area of hood air inlet gar-
nish have been optimized to secure the cooling
performance, providing protection and reducing
the risk of injury to a pedestrian's head area in
case of an accident.
• Corrugated shape has been adopted with the
hood inner panels located at both sides of hood
air inlet garnish inside the hood, absorbing the
impact energy to a pedestrian's head area in
case of an accident and reducing a risk of injury.
• Impact absorbing materials (energy absorbing
bracket) are arranged to left and right of hood
rear end, absorbing the impact energy to a
pedestrian's head area in case of an accident
and reducing a risk of injury.
