Volkswagen 1969 Model - Manual (Page 19)

... in the front luggage compartment.. .
Whether you are taking a lot of luggage with you or not, load the front luggage compartment first,
using the heaviest pieces of luggage if possible. The correct distribution of load means the best
road - holding, so take advantage of the possibilities offered by the Volkswagen with its two
luggage compartments.
The front hood is opened by pulling
the lever on the left inside the glove
compartment. The hood springs up slightly
under spring pressure and can be opened
fully when the safety hook near the lock
has been pressed upward.
To close the hood press it down firmly
until you hear a click. Never try to close
the hood by pressing at the side, always
press it in the center near the lock.
