GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
With the engine hot, work with caution inside
the engine compartment to avoid burns. Do
not place your hands near the fan: it may
switch on even if the ignition key has been removed.
Wait for engine cooling.
Pay attention to scarves, ties and other loose
fitting garments. If they accidentally touch
moving parts, they may get dragged in, pos-
ing serious risk to the wearer.

Proceed as follows:
❍ hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the other
remove rod C from seat D and fit it back into its catch;
❍ Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
above the engine compartment and let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely closed and not on-
ly fastened by the safety catch by trying to open it. If
it is not fully closed, open the bonnet and repeat the
procedure. Do not simply press it.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must always
be fully closed while travelling. Make sure
that the bonnet is perfectly closed and that
the lock is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed while travelling, stop imme-
diately and close the bonnet in the correct manner.
