IMPORTANT Before opening the bonnet,

check that windscreen wiper arms are not

lifted from the windscreen.

TO CLOSE THE BONNET

Proceed as follows:

❒ hold the bonnet up with one hand and

with the other remove rod C-

fig. 91 from recess E and fit it back in-

to its catch  D-fig. 90;

❒ lower the bonnet at approx. 20 cen-

timetres from the engine compartment

and then let it drop, ensuring that it is

fully closed and not just held in position

by the safety catch. If the bonnet does

not close properly, do not push it down

but open it again and repeat the above

procedure.

IMPORTANT Always check that the bon-

net is closed properly to avoid its opening

while the car is travelling.
