To close the bonnet

Proceed as follows:

❒ hold the bonnet up with one hand and, with the other, remove rod (C) from recess (D) replace it in its clip;
❒ lower the bonnet at approx. 20 cm from the engine compartment and then let it drop, ensuring that it is fully closed and not just held in position by the safety catch. If the bonnet does not close properly do not push it down but open it again and repeat the above procedure.

The bonnet might fall violently if the support rod is not positioned properly.
