Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for controlling the opening of the hood (1) of the engine compartment of a vehicle, connected to the vehicle body in a hinged manner for enabling it to partially open by rotating around the rear hinge toward the front of the vehicle from a position in which the hood (1) is latched to the vehicle body by means of at least one hook (18). This device comprises an impact detector mounted at the front of the vehicle and interacting with an actuator (19, 21) for controlling the unlatching of said hook (18) and comprises means for guiding the opening of the hood (1), these means for guiding the opening of the hood (1) comprising means for guiding the rear edge (1a) of the hood (1) in an essentially vertical direction.
