Active Bonnet Malfunction

[Chanan Kennison]

Hi

A few weeks back I had to emergency brake on a slip road, and after doing so I had a warning message to say that there was an active bonnet malfunction. There was no contact with another vehicle, however it was a very sudden emergency brake and it was close! I've searched about and have only found one potential solution to resolve this, which is to reset the actuators. Does anyone know if this is the best option, and whether this is something that I need to take to Mercedes direct to fix/reset?

Any help would be appreciated.

It's the new shape A200 AMG.

Thanks!

CK

Hello and Welcome,

I think (but I might be wrong) that they might need resetting with star/xentry (Mercedes diagnostic equipment) - there's some good indies on here with the correct diagnostic equipment

Defintely needs Star/Xentry , the lesser diagnostics don’t do it!
