by softly lifting the centre of the bonnet.
NOTE
Only open the bonnet when the wipers are in
the parked position. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the bonnet, wiper arms or
front windscreen.

Note that the support bar may disengage the
bonnet if the open bonnet is lifted by a strong
wind.
After inserting the support bar into the slot,
make sure the bar supports the bonnet
securely from falling down on to your head
or body.
To close
CAUTION
Be careful that hands or fingers are not
trapped when closing the bonnet.
Before driving, make sure that the bonnet is
securely locked. An incompletely locked
bonnet can suddenly open while driving.
This can be extremely dangerous.
NOTE
If this does not close the bonnet, release it
from a slightly higher position.
Do not press down the bonnet hard with a
hand as it may damage the bonnet.
