button under the passenger’s seat (fig. 5).
Before resetting fuel cut-
off switch and circuit
breaker, carefully read the related
paragraph in chapter “Getting to

– Raise the bonnet.
IMPORTANT Bonnet raising is aided
by two gas springs. Do not tamper with
these springs and always accompany the
bonnet while raising it.
Do this only with the car
stationary.
WARNING
DANGER-SERIOUS IN-
JURY. When carrying out
checks or maintenance operations
in the engine compartment, take
special care not to bump the head
on the raised bonnet.
WARNING
For safety reasons the
bonnet shall always be
perfectly closed when travelling.
Always check for proper bonnet
locking. If the bonnet is left inad-
vertently open, stop the car im-
mediately and close the bonnet.
WARNING
To close:
– Lower the bonnet to approx. 20 cm.
from the engine bay, then let it drop. Try
lifting it to make sure that it is shut com-
pletely and not simply caught in the safe-
ty position. If the bonnet does not close
properly do not push it down but open it
again and repeat the above procedure.
