To open the bonnet, pull the handle 1.

Unlocking the bonnet catch

To open, push tab 2 to the left as you open the bonnet.

Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet, helping it up, and it will rest in position with the help of struts.

Closing the bonnet

Check that nothing has been left in the engine compartment.

To close the bonnet again, hold the bonnet in the middle and lower it to 30  cm above the closed position, then release it. It will latch automatically under its own weight.

Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off by pressing the engine stop button (please see the information on “Starting, stopping the engine” in Section 2).

Do not press down on the bonnet: there is a risk that the bonnet may accidentally close.

When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

The engine may be hot when carrying out operations in close proximity. In addition, the engine cooling fan can come on at any moment.

Risk of injury.

After carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that nothing has been left behind (cloth, tools, etc.).

These may damage the engine or cause a fire.

Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked.

Check that nothing is preventing the catch from locking (gravel, cloth, etc.).

In the event of even a slight impact involving the radiator grille or bonnet, have the bonnet lock checked by an approved dealer as soon as possible.
