CLOSING
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres from the en-
gine compartment and let it drop. Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only fastened by the safety catch by try-
ing to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, open the bonnet and
repeat the procedure. Do not simply press it.
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is closed properly to avoid
it opening while the car is travelling.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must always be per-
fectly closed while travelling. Make sure that the
bonnet is perfectly closed and that the lock is en-
gaged. If you discover whilst driving that the lock is not
fully engaged, stop immediately and close the bonnet in
the correct manner.
Perform these operations only when the car is sta-
tionary.
