CLOSING
26)
Proceed as follows:
hold the bonnet up with one hand
and with the other remove the stay C
fig. 44 from the housing E and fit it back
in the locking device D;
lower the bonnet to approximately
40 centimetres from the engine
compartment and let it drop. Make sure
that the bonnet is completely closed
and not only fastened by the locking
device by trying to open 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
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling.
WARNING
23) Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.
24) The bonnet may drop suddenly if the
supporting rod is not positioned correctly.
25) Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the electric parking brake is
engaged.
26) For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
