Bonnet
Opening
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the Stop & Start
system to avoid any risk of injury
resulting from an automatic change to
START mode.
The cooling fan may start after switching
off the engine: take care with articles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
F Open the front left door.
F Pull the interior bonnet release lever A,
located at the bottom of the door aperture.
The location of the interior bonnet
release lever prevents opening of
the bonnet while the front left door is
closed.
F Push the exterior safety catch B to the left
and raise the bonnet.
F Unclip the stay C from its housing on the
back of the bonnet.
F Fix the stay in the notch to hold the bonnet
open.
Practical information
Do not open the bonnet in high winds.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet
stay with care (risk of burns).
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, w ashing, ...) be limited.

the bonnet.
