Active bonnet system
Zoom
The powertrain generally takes up considerable space in the engine compartment, leaving little room between the engine and the bonnet.
To remedy this, the C6 comes with an “active” bonnet system as standard that automatically raises the bonnet in the event of pedestrian impact. Thanks to an impact sensor and pyrotechnic mechanism, the bonnet rises 65 mm in 40 milliseconds.
A second mechanism maintains the bonnet in its raised position despite the impact and thus absorbs impact energy.
