BONNET
To open the bonnet, pull the handle 1.
Before performing any action in the engine compartment, the ignition must be switched off (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.
Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. In addition, the engine cooling fan may start at any moment. The warning light in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
Risk of injury.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
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.
After any procedure in the engine compartment, make sure that you do not forget anything (cloth, tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or cause a fire.
Unlocking the bonnet catch
To unlock, push the 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.
Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked.
Check that nothing is preventing the catch from locking (gravel, cloth, etc.).
