Do not pull the release lever while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Otherwise, the bonnet could

There is a risk of injury if the bonnet is open,

Some engine components can become very
hot. To avoid the risk of burns, only touch
those components described in the Owner’s
Manual and observe the relevant safety
notes.

Risk of injury
The radiator fan is located between the radi-
ator and the engine block. It can start run-
ning automatically even if there is no key in
the ignition lock. Keep away from the area of
rotation of the fan blades. Otherwise, you
could be injured.
The engine has an electronic ignition system
which carries a high voltage. For this reason,
you must never touch the ignition system
components (ignition coil, ignition cables,
spark plug connections, test socket) while:

앫 the engine is being started
