摘要: A hood safety system for a vehicle preventing a hood of the vehicle from being unlocked in a crash event, comprising a hood locking mechanism and a crash safety mechanism attached to a front structure in a front section of the vehicle. The vehicle is extending in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction. The hood locking mechanism is through manual action from a user configured to releasing the hood of the vehicle from a locked position to an unlocked position. The crash safety mechanism comprises a crash pin displaceable between an inactivated state and an activated state, where in the inactivated state the crash pin is disengaged from the hood locking mechanism, and where in the activated state the crash pin is engaging the hood locking mechanism preventing the hood locking mechanism from displacing the hood into the unlocked position. The front section of the vehicle is when being deformed in a crash event configured to mechanically displace the crash pin from the inactivated state to the activated state.

摘要: A method for unlocking a hood of a vehicle, wherein a hood locking mechanism comprises a latch, a safety catch, a locking member, and a striker; wherein the latch and the safety catch are arranged for engaging the striker and the locking member is arranged for engaging the safety catch, wherein the method comprises the steps; manually displacing a door of the vehicle, wherein the door in a closed position is blocking an inner hood handle, from the closed position to an open position in a fully locked mode of the hood locking mechanism for giving access to the inner hood handle; manually activating the inner hood handle for moving the hood locking mechanism from the fully locked mode to an intermediate locked mode, wherein the activation of the inner hood handle mechanically is displacing the latch from a closed position where the latch is in locking engagement with the striker to an open position where the latch is disengaged from the striker; triggering a sensor by the latch, when the latch is displaced to the open position, wherein an electrical signal from the sensor is activating the locking member after a predetermined time interval if at least one predetermined vehicle condition is fulfilled, where upon activation, the locking member is displaced from a first position where the locking member is in locking engagement with the safety catch to a second position where the locking member is disengaged from the safety catch; displacing the safety catch if the at least one predetermined vehicle condition is fulfilled from a closed state wherein the safety catch is in locking engagement with the striker to an open state where the safety catch is disengaged from the striker for moving the hood locking mechanism from the intermediate locked mode to an open mode.
