Operation

1. If the vehicle receives and impact to the front, the impact is transmitted to the active bonnet sensors.

2. The crash sensor built into the active bonnet sensor detects the impact and converts the impact into an electrical signal at the signal processing circuit.

3. The active bonnet sensor sends a signal indicating the degree of impact, which is converted to an electrical signal, to the active bonnet control module.
