Hold the bonnet up with one hand and,
with the other, remove rod Bfrom recess
Dand replace it in its clip C;
Lower the bonnet until it is about 20 cm
above the engine compartment, then let it
fall and make sure it is properly locked and
not just secured in safety position. In this
case do not press the bonnet but raise it
again and repeat the operation.
For safety reasons the bon-
net must be closed properly

catch is not perfectly engaged when
travelling, stop the car immediately
and close the bonnet.

engine compartment, when
it is still hot, proceed with the utmost
care to avoid burns. Do not approach
the fan: it might start working also
with the ignition key removed. Wait
for the engine cool down.

articles of clothing could
easily get caught up in moving parts.
This can be extremely dangerous.

glow plug heating system. You can use
the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact Fiat Dealership as
