Temporary Bonnet Repair
If the rear of the bonnet is raised,
the bonnet may be repositioned
temporarily if a towing service is not
available.
Warning
Before beginning the procedure,
read all the instructions. Failure to
read and follow the instructions
could injure you or others and
damage the vehicle.
Warning
After the bonnet has lifted, the
rear bonnet hinge area may be
hot. Do not touch the pedestrian
protection system components.
Allow the engine to cool before
attempting any repair.
Warning
You or others could be injured
when the bonnet is lowered or
latched.
Be sure to keep fingers and other
body parts away from the edge of
the bonnet and wings.
1. Place both hands on top of the
right corner of the bonnet near
the windscreen and push the
bonnet down quickly.
If the bonnet does not latch,
push down again with slightly
more force until the bonnet is
latched securely.
2. Repeat the previous step to
latch the left side of the bonnet.
3. Pull up on the rear corners of the
bonnet to make sure the bonnet
is latched securely and will
not lift.
Warning
Do not drive the vehicle if the
bonnet is not securely latched at
both rear corners.
Operating your vehicle without the
bonnet securely latched can lead
to a collision resulting in damage
to your vehicle, damage to other
property, personal injury, or even
death.
4. Drive directly to a dealer for
service. If you cannot go in for
service immediately, have the
vehicle towed.
Some noise will occur when the
vehicle is driven while the
bonnet is temporarily
repositioned.
If you do not have the system
repaired, the pedestrian protection
system will not be operable in the
event of another crash or frontal
impact involving a pedestrian. See
your dealer for service immediately.
