resulting from an automatic change to
START mode.

F Lift the safety catch and raise the bonnet.
F Unclip the stay from its housing and place
it in the support slot to hold the bonnet
open.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not
to damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very
windy conditions.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, ...) be limited.
Closing
F Take the stay out of its support slot.
F Clip the stay back into its housing.
F Lower the bonnet and release it at the end
of its travel.

latched correctly.
