Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet; you will need to guide it
as it is held by a strut.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Do not press down on the
bonnet: there is a risk that
the bonnet will close inad-
vertently.
Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
2
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and guide it down,
allowing a 30 cm gap before it is closed,
then release it. It will latch automatically
under its own weight.
After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
Check that it is correctly
locked.
In the event of an impact,
even slight, against the ra-
diator grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet catch checked
by an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
