go to the outside of the car and
position yourself in front of the grille;
lift the bonnet slightly from right to

bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling. Since the bonnet is equipped
with a double locking system, one for

lifting, check that the windscreen wiper arms
are not raised from the windscreen or in
