❒ lower the bonnet to about 20 cen-

timetres above the engine compart-
ment and then let it drop. Make sure
that the bonnet is closed correctly and
not just in the safety position by trying
to lift it. If it is not perfectly closed, do
not try to press the bonnet lid down
but open it and repeat the procedure.

IMPORTANT Always check that the bon-
net is closed properly to avoid it opening
while the car is travelling.
