you must switch o󰀨 the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic

The location of the interior bonnet
release lever prevents opening the
bonnet when the left-hand front door is
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.

The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched o󰀨.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
