A MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY DEVICE

摘要

A motor vehicle safety arrangement is disclosed which is operable in the event of an impact between the vehicle (1) and an external object (2). The arrangement comprises an impact guide (5) mounted to the structure (7) of the vehicle in a front region of the vehicle, the impact guide(5) being configured for actuation from a first configuration to a second configuration in response to an actuation signal from a crash sensor. When the impact guide (5) is in its actuated second configuration it presents a guide surface (24, 25) for impact with the external object (2), the guide surface facing outwards and extending rearwards at an acute angle relative to the central longitudinal axis (18) of the vehicle.
