Adjusting bonnet
Note
♦
Vehicle must be standing on its wheels to enable bonnet to be adjusted.
♦
The adjustment buffers -2- on the left and right are not a means of adjustment. They have the function of
stabilising and damping the bonnet.
♦
The bonnet is adjusted correctly if the gaps/shut lines are even all around, the door is not too deep or does
not protrude and all contours align when the is door closed.
♦
The bonnet must engage into the bonnet lock without excessive force.
♦
Nuts -4- are not removed, only loosened.
Carry out following work:
– Remove striker pin -1-
⇒ page 46
.
– Bonnet can be centred between wings by loosening (not re‐
moving) hexagon nuts -4- on left and right bonnet hinges -5-.
– Ensure that gaps are uniform ⇒ Body Repairs; Rep. gr. 00 ;
