BONNET
OPENING
 Open the front left door.
 Pull the interior release lever A , located at the bottom of the door
aperture.
 Push the exterior safety catch B to the left and raise the bonnet.
The bonnet is held open by the two side struts.
The location of the interior release lever prevents opening of the
bonnet while the front left door is closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety catch with care (risk of
burns).
CLOSING
 Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of its travel.
 Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully latched.
Because of the presence of electrical equipment under the bonnet,
it is recommended that exposure to water (rain, washing, ...) be
limited.
