WARNING

  • Open the bonnet after turning off the vehicle on a flat surface, shifting the gear to the P (Park) position and setting the parking brake.

  • 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 material in the motor compartment. Doing so may cause a heat-induced fire.

  • 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 total loss of visibility, which might result in an accident.

  • Do not move the vehicle with the bonnet raised. The view will be blocked and the bonnet could fall or be damaged.

  • If the bonnet is not closed completely, the vehicle speed will be limited.

NOTE

Operate the bonnet release lever if the bonnet does not open due to low temperature, etc.
