4. Check that the bonnet has
engaged properly. If the bonnet
can be raised slightly, it is not
properly engaged. Open it again
and close it with a little more
force.
WARNING
䳜 Before closing the bonnet, ensure
that all obstructions are removed
from the bonnet opening. Closing
the bonnet with an obstruction
present in the bonnet opening
may result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
䳜 Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat induced fire.
WARNING
䳜 Always double check to be sure
that the bonnet is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the bonnet could fly open
whilst the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
䳜 The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole provided
in the bonnet whenever you
inspect the engine compartment.
This will prevent the bonnet from
falling and possibly injuring you.
䳜 Do not move the vehicle with the
bonnet raised. The view will be
blocked and the bonnet could fall
or be damaged.
