Important. The bonnet
might fall violently if the
support rod is not positioned prop-
erly.
WARNING
To close the bonnet:
1) Hold the bonnet up with one hand
and, with the other, remove rod A-
fig. 71 from recess B and replace it in
its clip.
2) Lower the bonnet until it is about
20 cm (8 ins) above the engine com-
partment.
3) Let it fall: the bonnet locks auto-
matically.
Always make sure the bon-
net is closed properly so it
will not open while the vehicle is
moving.

If repairs need to be carried
out inside the engine com-
partment when this is still hot, be
careful not to burn yourself and
keep away from the electric fan as
this may cut in at any time, even if
the key is removed from the ignition
switch. Wait until the engine has
cooled.
WARNING
Scarves, ties and other
loose articles of clothing
could easily get caught up in mov-
ing parts. This can be extremely
dangerous.
