Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any
risk of injury resulting from an automatic
change to START mode.
► Clip the stay in its housing.
► Lower the bonnet and release it near the end
of its travel.
► Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked
correctly.

equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly
recommended that exposure to water (rain,
washing, etc.) be limited.

The location of the interior bonnet
release lever prevents opening the
