Before Driving
Open and Close the Hood
Opening
Two latches must be released to open
the hood.
• From inside the vehicle, pull the hood
release lever located under the left
lower side of the dashboard.
• Move to the outside and stand in front
of the vehicle front grille.
• Slightly lift the hood and push the
safety catch as indicated by the arrow.
The safety catch is located in the
center of the hood.
• Lift the hood completely: this operation
is facilitated by two gas struts keeping
the fully open position.
With the ignition device in ON position,
the red symbol will display on the
instrument cluster with the message
indicating that the hood is open.
Closing
Lower the hood until it begins to drop
under its own weight, then let it free fall
until self-closes on the locks.
Check that the hood has engaged
correctly in the locks.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the lid is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle
is in motion and block your vision.
Failure to follow this warning could
result in serious injury or death.
WARNING!
Gear shifting is always active and may
be performed even when one or more
doors, the hood or the trunk lid are open.
Therefore, in these conditions, take
great care to avoid pushing gearshift
