From the driver's side of the vehicle, pull
the lever towards you. This allows the
bonnet to release but is prevented from
opening by the safety catch.
To open the bonnet completely, reach
under the bonnet to the passenger's side
of the emblem and push up on the front
edge of the release catch. Hold in this
position and raise the bonnet.
After you have partially lifted the bonnet,
gas struts automatically take over to lift and
hold the bonnet in the fully open position.

To avoid injury and/or damage to the vehicle, check each time, before the bonnet is
closed, that the contact area is unobstructed.

drop. Make sure the latch engages.
WARNINg
If while driving you notice that the bonnet has not been properly closed, pull the vehicle
over to the side of the road at the earliest possible moment and close the bonnet
correctly.
