The pedestrian protection system is designed to mitigate injuries in a pedestrian collision with the vehicle. It does this by utilizing a pair of pyrotechnic actuators to lift the hood away from the engine, creating a cushioned impact between the pedestrian and the vehicle.
The pedestrian protection system also includes passive protection integrated into the bumper system and bonnet structure.

WARNING: Do not fit any non-Jaguar approved accessories to the vehicle.

NOTE:
The pedestrian protection system operates independently from the SRS (supplemental restraint system).
