TO CLOSE THE BONNET fig. 118

Proceed as follows:
❒ hold the bonnet up with one hand and

with the other remove rod C from re-
cess E and fit it back into its catch D;

❒ lower the bonnet at approx. 20 cen-

timetres from the engine compart-
ment 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.

to avoid its opening while the car is
travelling. Therefore, always check it
is properly closed and the catch en-
gaged. Should you notice that the
catch is not perfectly engaged when
travelling, stop the car immediately
and close the bonnet.
