Hi, I am getting this message appear now "Active Bonnet Malfunction" on the dash now.
From what I have read the safety mechanism has been triggered and the actuators need to be reseated, by opening the bonnet and raising it so that the actuators sit flush and lock into place again.

The active bonnet system responds to accidents by lifting the rear edge so as to protect any pedestrians you might hit.

The question is do these actuators need to be replaced once triggered or is the reset procedure all that needs to be done.

The car is a Mercedes e class 2013.


Thks in advance guys.
