A hinge device of a front hood of a motor vehicle is adjustable from a normal position into a protective position in the event of a collision. A front-hood surface and a lifting device with an actuator contact surface and a front-hood contact surface are provided on a front-hood-fastening part. An actuator surface can be brought to bear against the actuator contact surface and the front-hood contact surface can be brought to bear against the front-hood surface during an adjustment from the normal position into the protective position. The distance, which is provided substantially in the actuating direction of the actuator on the lifting device, between the front-hood contact surface and the actuator contact surface is greater than the distance between the actuator surface and the front-hood hinge-lever contact surface. Furthermore, a correspondingly equipped motor vehicle and a method for opening out the hinge device are provided.
