If the bonnet is not closed properly, it can open suddenly while you are driving and completely obscure your view of
the road. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
● After closing the bonnet, always check whether the catch is properly engaged in the lock carrier.
● If you establish while driving that the bonnet is not closed properly, stop immediately and close the bonnet.
● Open or close the bonnet only when there is no-one in its movement path.
NOTICE
Opening and closing the bonnet incorrectly can damage the bonnet or the wiper arms.
● Open the bonnet only when the wiper arms are flush to the windscreen and when they are switched off.
● Always fold the wiper arms back onto the windscreen before driving away.
Display
A symbol on the instrument cluster display indicates if the bonnet is open or is not closed properly→ Fig. 1.

injuries.
