User precautions
– Before opening the tailgate, ensure that the surrounding space is suffi-
cient to permit operation of the tail-
gate. Otherwise, stop the movement
of the boot lid before it makes con-
tact.
– The system may experience tempo- rary difficulties if one of the sensors
integrated in the rear of the bumper
is obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, grit-
ting salt, etc.). Clean the sensors. If
there is still a problem, contact an
approved dealer.
Note: in very cold weather conditions,
the automatic opening may not work if
the tailgate seals are frozen.

BONNET (2/2)
Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and guide it down,
allowing a 30 cm gap before it is closed,
then release it. It will latch automatically
under its own weight.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have the
bonnet lock checked by an
authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
