I believe the Active Bonnet system pops up the rear of the bonnet on impact with a pedestrian to increase the height of the bonnet in orderto reduce their injuries. It can be reset by pushing it back into place.

Unfortunately I have no suggestions for OP's issue.

In my case they get a face full of the three pointed star, then a nice acoustic windshield. As they fly over he or she hears the collision warning coming from the inside of my cabin, thru the sunroof.

Gotta love America.
