Before carrying out any work under the bonnet, always switch off the ignition to avoid any risk of the engine restarting automatically.

Take care that objects or clothing do not get caught in the cooling fan blade or in certain moving parts - Risk of strangulation and serious injury!

The position of the interior control prevents the bonnet from opening while the front left door is closed.

Engine hot: handle the exterior release and the bonnet prop with care (risk of burns), using the protected area.

With the bonnet open, take care not to strike the opening control.

Do not open the bonnet in strong winds.
