Boot - Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual

❒ lower the bonnet to approximately 40
centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it drop. Make sure
that the bonnet is completely closed
and not only fastened by the locking
device by trying to open it. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to press the
bonnet lid down but open it and repeat
the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling. Since the bonnet is equipped
with a double locking system, one for
each side, you must check that it is
closed on both its side ends.
WARNING
23) Perform these operations only when
the vehicle is stationary.
24) Wrong positioning of the bonnet stay
may cause the bonnet to fall abruptly.
25) Raise the bonnet using both hands.
Before raising the bonnet make sure that
the windscreen wipers are not lifted from
the windscreen, that the vehicle is at a
standstill and that the electric parking brake
is engaged.

immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
