Unknown saftey features???

[Rango]

Saw this pic posted on a FB Stinger forum. He said he had a slight impact and the hood popped up to lessen the impact of a pedestrian ... if a pedestrian is hit. Read nothing about this in the manual. Any other hidden saftey features?

I'd read something about this long ago--before the cars were in dealerships--and wondered what it would look like. Thanks!
