Abstract:
A protection device (1) has a sensor (3) to sense an impact of a road user outside a motor vehicle. A control device (4) is connected to the sensor (3) and evaluates signals sensed by the sensor (3). A rear actuator (6) is connected to the control device (4) and to a hinge arrangement (21) of a front hood (2) of the vehicle. The rear actuator (6) transfers a rear part of the front hood (2) into an impact position for damping an impact sensed by the sensor (3). A front actuator (7) is connected to the control device (4) and to a hood lock (20) in a front region of the front hood (2). The front actuator (7) transfers a front region of the front hood (2) into an impact position for damping the impact. The control device (4) activates the two actuators (6, 7) in a time-delayed manner.
