Luggage Compartment Tailgate - Alfa Romeo STELVIO 949 Owner's Handbook Manual

IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling. Since the bonnet is equipped
with a double locking system, one for
each side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
WARNING

car is stationary.
23) Use both hands to lift the bonnet. Before
lifting, check that the windscreen wiper arms
are not raised from the windscreen or in
operation, that the vehicle is stationary and
that the electric parking brake is engaged.
24) For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you discover that the bonnet is
not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.

unlocking and movement are disabled.
To avoid difficulties in tight spaces, you
