Unlocking the bonnet catch

Risk of injury.

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

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

The vehicle drive system in an electric vehicle uses a direct voltage of approximately 400 volts.

This system can get hot during and after switching off the ignition. Observe the warning messages on the labels in the vehicle.

Any intervention or modification on the vehicle’s 400 V electrical system (components, cables, connectors, traction battery) is strictly prohibited.

The risk of serious burns or electric shocks can lead to death.

The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.

Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet; you will need to guide it as it is held by a strut.

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.

Do not press down on the bonnet: there is a risk that the bonnet will close inadvertently.

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

Otherwise, this may lead to engine damage.

Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked.

Ensure that nothing is preventing locking (grit, cloths, etc.).
