- Fig. 291 Pressing back/checking the bonnet after system deployment
If the pedestrian protection system has been deployed, the bonnet will be slightly raised at the end next to the windscreen. In addition, the indicator lamp will be displayed along with a message.
To engage the bonnet again, press it down with both hands on the left side of the vehicle in area -1- Fig. 291► ►.
To check whether the bonnet is properly engaged, pull the rear edge of the bonnet -2- upwards. If the bonnet can be lifted, press it down again.
When the bonnet has engaged properly, repeat the procedure on the right side of the vehicle -1-.
Drive to the nearest qualified workshop without delay and have the pedestrian protection system serviced ►.
- Do not press back the bonnet unless both of your hands are flat on top of the bonnet. If you do this, you cannot catch your fingers between the bonnet and body. Take care when pressing back the bonnet: careless or uncontrolled movements can cause injury to yourself or others - risk of injury!
- The system can only be activated once. If the pedestrian protection system has been triggered, have it replaced without delay by a qualified workshop.
- All repairs to the bumper and the pedestrian protection system must only be carried out by a qualified workshop working to the specifications of the Audi factory. Improper repairs can impair the effectiveness of the system and invalidate the operating permit for your vehicle.
- The relevant safety requirements must be observed when individual components of the system or the entire vehicle are scrapped. Your authorised dealer is familiar with these regulations and will be pleased to pass on the information to you.
