Make sure the bonnet is completely closed and latched before driving. Failure to do so could cause the bonnet to fly open and result in an accident.
Never open the bonnet if steam or smoke is coming from the engine compartment to avoid injury.
The engine will start if the bonnet is opened when e-POWER system is running (to avoid accidents when performing maintenance).
Pull the bonnet lock release handle (1) located below the driver’s side instrument panel; the bonnet springs up slightly.
Push the lever (2) underneath the front of the bonnet sideways as illustrated with your fingertips.
Raise the bonnet.
Remove the support rod and insert it into the slot (3).
Hold the coated parts (A) when removing or resetting the support rod. Avoid direct contact with the metal parts, as they may be hot immediately after the engine has been stopped.
When closing the bonnet:
While supporting the bonnet, return the support rod to its original position.
Slowly lower the bonnet to about 8 to 12 in (20 to 30 cm) above the bonnet lock, then let it drop.
Make sure it is securely latched.
