Hood Release - Aston Martin DB 9 2013 Manual

Hood Release

Warning: Do not pull on the
hood secondary catch to assist in
closing the hood. This may
displace the hood secondary
catch. If the catch is displaced it
may not work correctly.
Do not press down hard on
the hood if it has not closed correctly. This may damage the hood.
Take care to not unintentionally pull on or catch the hood
release lever.
Warning: There are
two secondary latches
installed on the hood. To
avoid personal injury,
take care when under the
hood.
If the windshield wipers are operating, they will temporarily rest
in the park position while the hood is unlatched.
Before closing the hood, remove any tools, cleaning cloths, etc.
from the engine compartment. Make sure that no one is obstructing
the 'closing' area and that hands, clothing etc. are clear.
If the hood does not fully close or it opens during driving the
message center (right) will show BONNET OPEN.
Lift slightly on the hood front edge whilst pulling upward on the hood
secondary catch (B) to release it. Lift the hood until fully open. The
hood is held open by two gas struts.
To close the hood lower the hood until it starts to fall under its own
weight. At that point let the hood fall to close.
If the hood does not shut, open the hood again and repeat the
closure procedure, this time assist using light hand pressure as the
hood falls.
