• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.

WARNING -
Bonnet
• Before closing the bonnet,
ensure that all obstructions are
removed from the bonnet open-
ing. Closing the bonnet with an
obstruction present in the bonnet
opening may result in property
damage or severe personal
injury.
• Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING
• Always double check to be sure
that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the bonnet could fly
open whilst the vehicle is being
driven, causing a total loss of vis-
ibility, which might result in an
accident.
• The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole whenev-
er you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the
bonnet from falling and possibly
injuring you.
• Do not move the vehicle with the
bonnet raised. The view will be
blocked and the bonnet could fall
or be damaged.
