Opening/closing the bonnet
WARNING Risk of accident due to driving with the engine bonnet unlocked

An unlocked engine bonnet may open up when the vehicle is in motion and block your view.

Never unlock the engine bonnet when driving.
Before every trip, ensure that the engine bonnet is locked.
WARNING Risk of accident and injury when opening and closing the engine bonnet

When opening or closing the engine bonnet, it may suddenly drop into the end position.

There is a risk of injury for anyone in the engine bonnet's range of movement.

Only open or close the engine bonnet when there are no persons in the engine bonnet's range of movement.
WARNING Danger of burns when opening the bonnet

If you open the engine bonnet when the engine has overheated or during a fire in the engine compartment, you could come into contact with hot gases or other escaping operating fluids.

Before opening the bonnet, allow the engine to cool down.
In the event of a fire in the engine compartment, keep the engine bonnet closed and call the fire service.
WARNING Risk of injury due to moving parts

Certain components in the engine compartment may continue to move or suddenly move again even after the ignition has been switched off, e.g. the cooler fan.

Make sure of the following before performing tasks in the engine compartment:

Switch the ignition off.
Never touch the danger zone surrounding moving component parts, e.g. the rotation area of the fan.
Remove jewellery and watches.
Keep items of clothing and hair away from moving parts.
WARNING Risk of injury from touching component parts under voltage

The ignition system and the fuel injection system work under high voltage. If you touch component parts which are under voltage, you could receive an electric shock.

Never touch components of the ignition system or the fuel injection system when the ignition is switched on.
WARNING Risk of burns from hot component parts in the engine compartment

Certain components in the engine compartment can be very hot, e.g. the engine, the radiator and parts of the exhaust system.

Allow the engine to cool down and only touch component parts described in the following.
WARNING Risk of injury from using the windscreen wipers while the engine bonnet is open

When the engine bonnet is open, and the windscreen wipers are set in motion, you can be trapped by the wiper linkage.

Always switch off the windscreen wipers and ignition before opening the engine bonnet.
To open:
pull lever to release the bonnet.
Push handle of the bonnet catch upwards and lift the bonnet by approximately 40 cm.
To close:
lower the bonnet and press it firmly into the lock with both hands.
If the bonnet can be lifted a little bit more, repeat the procedure until it engages correctly.
