Operation
1. Before closing the bonnet, check the
following:
僅 All filler caps in the engine com -
partment must be correctly
installed.
僅 Gloves, rags or any other combus -
tible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Lower the bonnet until it is about 30
cm (12 inches) above the closed posi -
tion and let it drop. Make sure that it
locks into place.
3. Check that the bonnet has engaged
properly.
僅 If the bonnet can be raise slightly, it
is not properly engaged.
僅 Open it again and close it with a lit -
tle more force.
WARNING
僅 Before closing the bonnet, ensure that
all obstructions are removed from the
bonnet opening. Closing the bonnet
with an obstruction present in the
bonnet opening may result in prop -
erty damage or severe personal
injury.
僅 Do not leave gloves, rags or any other
combustible material in the engine
compartment. Doing so may cause a
heat-induced fire.
僅 Always double check to be sure that
the bonnet is firmly latched before
driving away. If it is not latched, the
bonnet could open whilst the vehicle
is being driven, causing total loss of
visibility, which might result in an acci -
dent.
僅 Do not move the vehicle with the
bonnet raised. The view will be
blocked and the bonnet could fall or
be damaged.
