To open, pull handle 1, located on the left-hand side of the dashboard.

Unlocking the bonnet catch

Lift the bonnet by several centimetres and push lever 2 to the left.

Do not do any work under the bonnet when the vehicle is charging or when the ignition is switched on.

Do not press down on the bonnet: there is a risk that the bonnet may accidentally close.

In the event of even a slight impact involving the radiator grille or bonnet, have the bonnet lock checked by an authorised dealer as soon as possible.

The vehicle drive system in an electric vehicle uses a direct voltage of approximately 400 volts.

This system can get hot during and after switching off the ignition.

Respect warning messages given on the labels in the vehicle.

Any intervention or modification on the vehicle’s 400 V electrical system (components, cables, connectors, traction battery) is strictly prohibited.

The risk of serious burns or electric shocks can lead to death.

The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The label in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.

Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet up and release the stay 4 from its holder 3. For your own safety, it is very important to fit the stay into its retainer 5.

Closing the bonnet

Before closing the bonnet, make sure that nothing has been left in the engine compartment.

To close the bonnet, replace the stay 4 in its holder 3. Hold the middle of the bonnet and guide it down to one foot (30 cm) above the closed position, then release. It will latch automatically under its own weight.

When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.

Risk of injury.

Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked.

Ensure that nothing is preventing locking (grit, cloths, etc.).

After any procedure in the engine compartment, make sure that you do not forget anything (cloth, tools, etc.).

These may damage the engine or cause a fire.
