Hood
To open:
Pull hood release lever (1) under the
LH side of instrument panel to unlock
the hood. This will cause handle (2) to
come out of radiator grill (it may be
necessary to lift hood up slightly).
Pull handle (2) completely out of radia­
tor grill and open hood to approxi­
mately 45°C (windshield wiper arm
must not be folded out).
To close:
Push hood down on left side (viewed in
driving direction). Make sure that hood
is securely locked.
Warning!
Stay clear of moving parts when the
hood is open and the engine is running.
The engine is equipped with a transis­
torized ignition system. Because of the
high voltage it is highly dangerous to
touch any components (ignition coil,
distributor, spark plug sockets, ignition
cables, diagnostic socket) of the igni­
tion system
• if the ignition is “on" and the engine
revved manually
• while starting the engine
• with the engine running.
