Vehicle front, vehicle comprising such a vehicle front, and method associated

A method for using a front hood of a vehicle front for a vehicle as a table, the vehicle front comprising:

• a motor compartment;
• an opening, configured to give access to the motor compartment;
• at least one mechanical stop;
• and
• a front hood, the front hood comprising:
• a first pivoting system, configured to be engaged, wherein the front hood is configured to pivot around a first axis, and disengaged, wherein the front hood is configured to move independently of the first axis;
• and
• a second pivoting system, configured to be engaged, wherein the front hood is configured to pivot around a second axis, parallel to the first axis, and disengaged, wherein the front hood is configured to move independently of the second axis,
• wherein the front hood is pivotable between a closed position, a first open position and a second open position, wherein:
• in the closed position the front hood covers the opening and the first and second pivoting systems are engaged;
• in the first open position, the first pivoting system is engaged, the second pivoting system is disengaged and the front hood is pivoted around the first axis and leaves the opening uncovered;
• and
• in the second open position, the second pivoting system is engaged, the first pivoting system is disengaged and the front hood is pivoted around the second axis to be substantially horizontal;
• wherein when the front hood is in the second open position, the front hood comes into contact with the mechanical stop, which maintains the front hood substantially horizontal so it can be used as a table,
• the method comprising:
• while the second pivoting system is engaged, disengaging the first pivoting system;
• and
• pivoting the front hood around the second axis until it is substantially horizontal and comes into contact with the mechanical stop, so that it is in the second open position.
