reservoir caps, or dipsticks.

Bonnet

Warning
For vehicles with auto engine stop/
start, turn the vehicle off before
opening the bonnet. If the vehicle is
on, the engine will start when the
bonnet is opened. You or others
could be injured.
Warning
Components under the bonnet can
get hot from running the engine. To
help avoid the risk of burning
unprotected skin, never touch these
components until they have cooled,
and always use a glove or towel to
avoid direct skin contact.
Clear any snow from the bonnet
before opening.
To open the bonnet:
1. Pull the bonnet release lever with
the symbol. It is on the lower
left side of the instrument panel.
2. Go to the front of the vehicle and
locate the secondary release lever
under the front centre of the
bonnet. Push the secondary bonnet
release lever to the right to release.
3. After you have partially lifted the
bonnet, the gas strut system will
automatically lift the bonnet and
hold it in the fully open position.
VEHICLE CARE
To close the bonnet:
1. Before closing the bonnet, make
sure all filler caps are fitted on
properly, and all tools are removed.
2. Pull the bonnet down until the
strut system is no longer holding
up the bonnet.
3. Allow the bonnet to fall. Check to
make sure the bonnet is latched
completely. Repeat this process
with additional force if necessary.
Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the
bonnet is not latched completely.
The bonnet could open fully, block
your vision, and cause a crash. You
or others could be injured. Always
close the bonnet completely before
driving.
