Abstract
An energy absorption device with a pedestrian protection function for a motor vehicle includes a deformation structure which can be deformed based on pulses at different force levels in a switchable manner. The energy absorption device additionally has a sensor console which is arranged parallel to the deformation structure and which protrudes in the deformation direction beyond the deformation structure in the direction of the vehicle exterior. The sensor console is designed to support a collision detection sensor.
