Gas struts automatically take
over to lift and hold the bonnet
open.

Warning
To avoid injury and/or damage
to the vehicle, check each time,
before the bonnet is closed, that
the contact area is unobstructed.
Lower the bonnet and allow it to drop
into the catch. Check that the bonnet
is engaged.
Warning
If while driving you notice that
the bonnet has not been properly
closed, pull the vehicle over to
the side of the road at the earliest
possible moment and close the
bonnet correctly.
