Bonnet
Opening the Bonnet
DO NOT drive when the bonnet is
not closed or retained only by the
safety catch.
1 From the inside of the vehicle, pull the
bonnet release handle (Figure A).
2 Move the safety catch release handle on
the bonnet lock assembly in the direction
of the arrow (Figure B) to release the
bonnet safety catch.
3 Raise the bonnet and hold it up with the
support rod firmly.
Closing the Bonnet
Support the bonnet by one hand, release the
support rod using the other hand, and place
it firmly into the support rod base. Then hold
the bonnet using both hands and lower it,
allowing it to drop for the last 20 cm ~ 30 cm
to fully close the bonnet.
By attempting to lift the front edge of the
bonnet, check if the lock is fully engaged after
closing the bonnet. If it is not fully engaged,
you must repeat the operation.
Bonnet Open Warning
If the bonnet is not fully engaged, when the
vehicle power system is in the ON/READY
position, the corresponding alarm symbol
will be displayed in the information message
centre of the instrument pack. If it is detected
that the bonnet is not fully engaged whilst
driving, an audible warning will sound.
IMPORTANT
• For safety reasons, the bonnet should
be fully latched and secure when driving.
Therefore every time the bonnet is
opened, you must check after closing that
the bonnet is securely latched, e.g. the
bonnet edge is flush with the body of the
car.
• You should stop the car immediately
when safety permits and close the bonnet
if it is not closed fully when driving.
• Beware of injury to hands while fully
closing the bonnet with a downward
force.
