Active Hood
How Active Hood Works
Some Model X vehicles (depending on date of
manufacture) feature a pedestrian protection
system that reduces head injuries to
pedestrians and cyclists in a frontal collision. If
the sensors in the front bumper detect an
impact with a pedestrian when Model X is
moving between 19 and 53 km/h, the rear
portion of the hood automatically raises
approximately 80 mm. This creates space
between the relatively soft hood and the hard
components beneath to absorb some of the
impact energy in a collision.
Note: The pedestrian protection system relies
on a series of sensors and algorithms to
determine when Active Hood should deploy.
Therefore, the system may not deploy in all
collision or crash situations.
If Active Hood has been deployed, the
instrument panel displays an alert and an
audible chime sounds. Immediately take
Model X to the nearest Tesla Service Center.
Active Hood's associated sensors and
actuators must be serviced by Tesla whenever
Active Hood has been deployed.
Warning: Deployment of Active Hood
may cause the raised hood to partially
obstruct driver vision. Driving a car with a
deployed hood increases the risk of a
collision. A car with a deployed hood
should be immediately taken to the
nearest Tesla Service Center.
Warning: If the instrument panel displays
an alert indicating that Active Hood has
been deployed in situations where it has
not, immediately drive Model X to the
nearest Tesla Service Center.
Note: If damage occurs to the front bumper,
contact Tesla for a list of Tesla-approved body
shops in your area. Tesla approvesspeciļ¬c
body shops to ensure they meet strict
requirements for training, equipment, quality,
and customer satisfaction.
