MANUALLY OPERATED HOOD: CONDITIONS OF USE / OPENING
Conditions of use
The hood has been designed so that
it can be operated as quickly and
easily as possible.
Its multi-layer construction
provides insulation and protection
from the wind and rain during
normal usage.
Please see the information on
bodywork and trim maintenance in
section 4 for information on how to
care for the hood.
• If your vehicle is to be parked for
a long period, it is advisable to
protect the hood with a cover to
prevent the fabric becoming
stained or discoloured (owing to
long exposure to the sun).• Do not leave the hood open for
longer than a week at a time in
order to prevent any differences
in colour occurring where the
hood has been folded and to avoid
marking the rear screen.
• Ifitisfrosty(oricy),freethetopof
the hood but never the rear
screen: switch on the rear screen
demister until the frost has
melted, then wipe with a soft
damp cloth.
As a safety measure:
• The vehicle must be
stationary when the
hood is opened and
closed.
• You must not drive with the
hood compartment cover
open.
