2. Lower the bonnet until it is about
30 cm above the closed position
and let it drop. Make sure that it
locks into place.
3. Check that the bonnet has
engaged properly.
䳜 If the bonnet can be raise
slightly, it is not properly
engaged.
䳜 Open it again and close it with a
little more force.
䳜 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.
䳜 Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
䳜 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.
䳜 Do not move the vehicle with the
bonnet raised. The view will be
blocked and the bonnet could fall
or be damaged.
