  2. Push the secondary bonnet release lever (2) to the left.

  3. Lift the bonnet upwards.

  4. Hold the bonnet opened with the support rod.

  5. Before closing the bonnet, check the following:

    • All filler caps in the motor compartment must be correctly installed.

    • Gloves, rags or any other combustible material must be removed from the motor compartment.

  6. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.

  7. Lower the bonnet until it is about 30 cm (12 inches) above the closed position and let it drop. Make sure that it locks into place.

  8. Check that the bonnet has engaged properly.

    • If the bonnet can be raise slightly, it is not properly engaged.

    • Open it again and close it with a little more force.

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.
