BEFORE YOU DRIVE
WARNING: Before disconnecting the battery,
lower the side windows by at least 4-5 cm
to avoid damaging the weather strips when
opening and closing the doors. When the battery
is connected and fully charged, this operation
is done automatically whenever the doors are
opened or closed. The windows must remain
open until the charged battery is reconnected.
If the battery has discharged with the windows
fully closed, open the door only if necessary and
with the greatest care; do not close it again until
it the windows can be lowered.
WARNING: Before activating the alarm system,
check that all the windows and the sunroof are
closed to prevent accidental activation of the
alarm system.
ENGINE
COMPARTMENT LID
To unlock the engine compartment lid, pull the
lever
A found in the lower, left-hand side of the
dashboard.
Release the safety device by moving the lever
B
as shown in the figure.
Lift the engine compartment lid: this operation is
facilitated by two gas struts.
The engine compartment lid positions itself at the
maximum opening position and does not require
support stays.
CAUTION
To close the lid: lower it
to about 20 cm from the engine
compartment and let it drop: it will
close automatically.
In doing this, always be extremely
careful to prevent your hands from
being crushed.
CAUTION
Always check that the engine
compartment lid is properly shut so
that it cannot open while driving.
