Adjusting the bonnet
Note
♦
The vehicle must be positioned on the flat ground in order to adjust the bonnet.
♦
The adjusting buffers -2- on the left and right are not used for the adjustment. They have the function to
stabilise or dampen the bonnet.
♦
The bonnet is correctly adjusted if in the closed state it has an overall even gap size, is not positioned too
far outwards or inwards and the contours are aligned.
♦
The bonnet must latch in the flap lock without using increased force.
♦
The nuts are not unscrewed, only slackened.
– Remove locking clamp -1-
⇒ “1.8 Removing and installing the locking clamp”, page 29
– The mean of the front flap can be taken between the wings by
slackening the nuts -6- on the left and right hinges -7-.
– Ensure parallelism of gap dimensions ⇒ Body Repairs; Rep.
