Bonnet
To open
Pull the release lever towards you to unlock the bonnet.
Raise the bonnet while pressing the safety lock.
NOTE
Only open the bonnet when the wipers are in the parked position. Failure
to do so may cause paint/body damage.
Support the bonnet by inserting the support bar in its slot.
CAUTION
(1) Note that the support bar may disengage the bonnet if the open bonnet
is lifted by a strong wind.
(2) Always insert the support bar into the hole provided
specifically for this purpose. Supporting the bonnet at any other location could
result in the support bar slipping out and lead to an accident.
To close
Unlatch the support bar and clip it in its holder.
Slowly lower the bonnet to the position 30 cm above the closed position, then let it drop.
NOTE
(1) If this does not close the bonnet, release it from a slightly higher position.
(2) Do not press down the bonnet hard with a hand as it may damage the bonnet.
CAUTION
(1) Be careful that hands or fingers are not trapped when closing the bonnet.
(2) Before driving, make sure that the bonnet is securely locked. An incompletely
locked bonnet can suddenly open while driving. This can be extremely dangerous.
