erations in the engine compart-
ment, take special care not to bump
the head on the raised bonnet.
If checks need to be car-
ried out in the engine com-
partment when the engine
is still warm, keep away from the

Scarves, ties and loose
clothing may be caught in
the moving parts.

bonnet must be closed
properly to avoid its open-
ing while the car is travelling.
Therefore, always check it is prop-
erly closed and the catch engaged.
Should you notice that the catch is
not perfectly engaged when trav-
elling, stop the car immediately and
close the bonnet.
To close:
– lower the bonnet until approx. 20 cm
from the engine compartment and then let
it drop, ensuring 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 re-
peat the above procedure.
