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.

Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The warning light in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.

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

Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.

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

Risk of injury.

Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked.

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

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.

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.
