Bonnet Opening; Bonnet Closing - Alfa Romeo GIULIETTA Owner's Handbook Manual

WARNING
24) A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious
injuries to passengers in the event
of an accident.
25) If you are travelling in an area
with limited opportunities for
refuelling and you wish to bring
petrol with you in a petrol can, you
must do so in compliance with
current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately
secured to the load securing
attachments. However, the risks
of fire in case of collision increase
anyway.

IMPORTANT Two side gas shock
absorbers are provided to assist in
opening the bonnet. Do not tamper
with the shock absorber and
accompany the bonnet while lifting it.
IMPORTANT Before raising the bonnet,
make sure that the arms of the wipers
are not raised from the windscreen and
that the wiper is not operational.
CLOSING
Lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine
compartment then let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely
closed and not only fastened by the
locking device by trying to open it. If it is
not perfectly closed, do not try to
press the bonnet down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the car is travelling.
