catch, found slightly left of centre on the
underside of the bonnet, push the catch
upwards and lift the bonnet gently. The
bonnet is held open automatically.
When the bonnet is opened, leaves, dirt or
snow on the bonnet can slide down and
obstruct the air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow. Air intake - see page 114.
Never drive with bonnet open.
To close bonnet, lower it gradually,
allowing it to drop from a height of approx.
30 cm.
Check that the bonnet is locked in position
before driving, by pulling at its front edge.
If it is not engaged, repeat closing
procedure.
Starting
Do not start with quick charger
This prevents damage to electronic
components.
Do not start by pushing or towing
Because your vehicle is fitted with a
catalytic converter, it must not be started
by pushing or towing - see page 133.
The vehicle can only be started using jump
leads - see following pages.
Starting the engine with jump
leads 3
A vehicle with a discha rged battery can be
started using jump leads and the battery of
another vehicle.

of 1 minute and should not last longer than
15 seconds.
9 Warning
If the vehicle battery requires charging
whilst still in the vehicle, ensure there is
adequate ventilation in and around the
battery compartment, to prevent risk of
explosion.

Self-help, vehicle care185
Bulb replacement
Before replacing a bulb , switch off ignition
and relevant switch.
Only hold new bulbs at base! Do not touch
the bulb glass with bare hands, otherwise
fingerprints on the glass evaporate and
residue builds up on the reflector
eventually resulting in a dull reflector.
Inadvertently stained bulbs may be
cleaned with a clean lint-free cloth, using
alcohol or white spirit.
Replacement bulb must be in accordance
with data on base of defective bulb. Do not
exceed wattage given on bulb base.
Headlamp aiming
We recommend that headlamp aiming be
carried out by a work shop, which will have
special equipment.
When aiming your headlamps, the manual
headlamp range adjustment 3 must be set
to 7. Headlamp removal
For bulb replacement, it is necessary to first
remove the headlamp assembly.
1. Switch off ignition and headlamp switch.
2. Open the bonnet, release the 11
retainers and remove the radiator cover.
3. Remove 3 bolts and withdraw headlamp.
4. Depress harness connector tags and disconnect head lamp wiring.
5. Remove the headlamp assembly.
Headlamp assembly installation is the
reverse of removal - ensure locating dowel
aligns with its socket.
Do not overtighten bolts or retainers.
