Closing the bonnet
1. Before closing the bonnet, check
the following:
• All filler caps in engine compart-
ment must be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the bonnet until it is about
30 cm above the closed position
and let it drop. Make sure that it
locks into place.
4. Check that the bonnet has
engaged properly. If the bonnet
can be raised slightly, it is not
properly engaged.
Open it again and close it with a lit-
tle more force.
WARNING
• Before closing the bonnet,
ensure that all obstructions
are removed from the bonnet
opening. Closing the bonnet
with an obstruction present in
the bonnet opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
• Do not leave gloves, rags or
any other combustible materi-
al in the engine compartment.
Doing so may cause a heat-
induced fire.
WARNING
• Always double check to be
sure that the bonnet is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the bonnet
could open whilst the vehicle
is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
• The support rod must be
inserted completely into the
hole provided whenever you
inspect the engine compart-
ment. This will prevent the
bonnet from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
• Do not move the vehicle with
the bonnet raised. The view
will be blocked and the bon-
net could fall or get damaged.
