Abstract
A vehicle front structure (1) for a motor vehicle with a safety system (2) having a pressure tube (3) for detecting a pedestrian impact on a front region (11) of the motor vehicle, and with a cross member (4) extending transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The pressure tube (3) is arranged above the cross member (4), and therefore the pedestrian impact is detectable in a load plane (5) above a load plane (15) defined by the cross member (4).
Claims8
A vehicle front structure for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a safety system with at least one pressure tube for detecting a pedestrian impact on a front region of the motor vehicle;
- an abutment device against which the pressure tube is pressed in the event of a pedestrian impact is arranged behind the pressure tube, the abutment device comprising at least one right abutment unit and at least one left abutment unit spaced from each other in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle, and at least one central abutment unit arranged therebetween, and at least one of an outer cladding of the front region and an illuminating device is accommodated on at least one of the right and left abutment units;
- and
- at least one cross member extending in the transverse direction, the pressure tube being arranged above the cross member, and therefore the pedestrian impact is detectable in a load plane above a load plane defined by the cross member.
