uuMaintenance Under the BonnetuOpening the Bonnet
Opening the Bonnet
1. Park the vehicle on level ground, and set
the parking brake.
2. Pull the bonnet release handle under the
driver side's lower outer corner of the
dashboard.
u The bonnet will pop up slightly.
3. Pull up the bonnet latch lever (located
under the front edge of the bonnet to the
centre) and raise the bonnet. Once you
have raised the bonnet slightly, you can
release the lever.
4. Remove the support rod from the clamp
using the grip. Mount the support rod in
the bonnet.
When closing, remove the support rod, and
stow it in the clamp, then gently lower the
bonnet. Remove your hand at a height of
approximately 30 cm and let the bonnet close.
Do not open the bonnet when the wiper arms are
raised.
The bonnet will strike the wipers, and may damage
either the bonnet or the wipers.
When closing the bonnet, check that the bonnet is
securely latched.
If the bonnet latch lever moves stiffly, or if you can
open the bonnet without lifting the lever, the latch
mechanism should be cleaned and lubricated.
The bonnet support rod can become
very hot due to heat from the engine.
To ensure against possible burns, do not
handle the metal section of the rod:
Use the foam grip instead.
