Opening the bonnet To prevent damage to, or loss of the key, remove the key immediately after opening and swivel the Ford badge back. Note: On vehicles with keyless entry, use the spare key to open the bonnet. See Keyless entry.


Closing the bonnet Note: Make sure that the bonnet is closed properly.

Lower the bonnet and allow it to drop from under its own weight for the last 20 – 30 centimetres (8 - 12 inches).
