The active bonnet system is a safety feature designed to reduce injuries to pedestrians in the event of a collision. It involves a mechanism that raises the rear of the car's hood upon impact, creating a cushioning space between the hood and the engine components. This helps to absorb some of the impact energy and minimize the severity of injuries to pedestrians. The system typically employs sensors to detect a collision and actuators to lift the bonnet automatically.

Where is the bonnet switch on a saxo?

The release lever is just inside the passenger door, under the glove box on the left side (for right hand drive - I believe it's still on the left on LHD cars, but I don't know for sure). Pulling this back will cause the bonnet to pop up slightly. You then need to go to the front of the car and pull the bonnet catch upwards as you lift the bonnet. On earlier models the bonnet catch is under the centre of the bonnet, on later ones it's in the radiator grille just to the right of the chevrons as you face the front of the car.
