Abstract: A bonnet displacement mechanism for coupling a bonnet panel to a body structure of a vehicle. The bonnet displacement mechanism comprises a hinge mechanism for elevating a rear edge of the bonnet panel from a normal position, in-use, to a deployed position, and for lowering the rear edge of the bonnet panel from the deployed position to a latched position. The bonnet displacement mechanism comprises a latch mechanism to latch the hinge mechanism at the latched position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle pedestrian protection airbag arrangement (7) comprising an airbag (9), a housing (8), an inflating device (10) and a lid (11), the airbag (9) being arranged to be inflated by the inflating device (10) in the case of a collision with a pedestrian when the airbag arrangement (7) is mounted in a vehicle (1). The lid (11) has a first side (11a), facing away from the housing (8) and a second side (11b), facing the housing (8) when the lid (11) is mounted against the housing (8). The housing has a front wall and a rear wall, in which housing the airbag is stored before inflation. The airbag arrangement (7) further comprises at least one attachment means (12a, 12b, 13a, 13b) running between the lid (11) and at least one other part (8, 9) comprised in the airbag arrangement (7). When the airbag (9) is inflated, it is at least partly positioned between the lid (11) and the housing (8).

Abstract: A vehicle (10) comprising a bonnet or hood assembly (12) having a passive pedestrian impact zone (P) and a second active pedestrian impact zone (A); the active zone being deployable by an actuator (30) upon receipt of a deploy signal from a control unit the second active zone being coupled to the bonnet assembly by one or more tethers (54, 56). The control unit receives data input from sensors (22) or other measurement devices and determines if the predetermined conditions for deployment of the second active zone are met.
