Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet; you will need to guide it
as it is held by a strut.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Ensure that nothing is pre-
venting locking (grit, cloths,
etc.).
Do not press down on the
bonnet: there is a risk that
the bonnet may accidentally
close.

Closing the bonnet

Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and lower it to
30 cm above the closed position, 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.
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
