Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet up and release the stay 4 from its holder 5. For your own safety, it is very important to fit the stay into its retainer 3.

Closing the bonnet
Before closing the bonnet, make sure that nothing has been left in the engine compartment.
To close the bonnet, replace the stay 4 in its holder 5. Hold the middle of the bonnet and guide it down to one foot (30 cm) above the closed position, then release. It will latch automatically under its own weight.
When washing the vehicle with high-pressure washer, take care not to point the jet of water the air intakes on the bonnet to prevent damage to the engine.
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.
