KNOWING YOUR CAR

WARNING
34)
Never exceed the maximum permitted
load in the boot; see the “Technical
specifications” section. Also make sure
that the objects you place in the boot have
been properly secured, to avoid them from
being thrown forward consequent to sharp
braking and injuring your passengers.
35)
Be careful not to hit objects on the roof
rack when you open the tailgate.
BONNET
36) 37) 38)
OPENING
Proceed as follows:
pull the lever (A) fig. 68 in the
direction indicated by the arrow;
68 F0S1129
move the lever (B) fig. 69 leftwards as
shown in the figure;
69 F0S1146
raise the bonnet completely: the
operation is facilitated by the presence
of two gas springs which hold it the all
open position.
Do not tamper with the gas shock
absorber and accompany the bonnet
while lifting it.
CLOSING
To close, lower the bonnet to
approximately 20 centimetres from
the motor 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 vehicle is
travelling.
WARNING
36)
Be very careful not to allow scarves,
neck ties and other loose articles of
clothing from touching, even accidentally,
any moving parts. This may cause the
clothing to be pulled into the part, resulting
in serious risk to the wearer.
37)
For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while driving.
Therefore, make sure that the bonnet
is properly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed while driving, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
38)
Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the car is stationary and
that the parking brake is applied.
