Practical information
Bonnet
Opening
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the 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.
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
F Unclip the stay from its housing and place it
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
F Take the stay out of the support slot.
F Clip the stay in its housing.
F Lower the bonnet and release it near the
end of its travel.
F Open the front left door.
F Pull the lever, located at the bottom of the
door aperture, towards you.
F Pull on the bonnet to check that it is fully
latched.
The cooling fan may start after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.
Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
F Lift the lever and raise the bonnet.
