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.

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.

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

Risk of injury.

Please note when working close to the engine that it may be hot. The engine cooling fan may also start at any moment. The warning light in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

Risk of injury.

Opening the bonnet

Lift the bonnet; you will need to guide it as it is held by a strut.

Do not press down on the bonnet: there is a risk that the bonnet will close inadvertently.

Closing the bonnet

Check that nothing has been left in the engine compartment.

To close the bonnet again, hold the bonnet in the middle and guide it down, allowing a 30 cm gap before it is closed, then release it. It will latch automatically under its own weight.

After carrying out any work in the engine compartment, check that nothing has been left behind (cloth, tools, etc.).

Otherwise, this may lead to engine damage.

Ensure that the bonnet is properly locked.

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