Abstract
A front hood system has a front hood of a vehicle coupled to the frame of the vehicle via at least one four-joint hinge. In addition, the front hood can be latched by means of at least one hood lock. An economically and technically feasible protection provided for pedestrians is accomplished in that at least one four-joint hinge has at least one link whose joint is situated on one of the parts of the front hood and the vehicle body can be displaced in the position thereof due to the force of impact of a pedestrian.
