To prevent malfunction of the airbag system, always consult a retailer/authorized repairer before fitting any of the following:
The following symbol may be used on an under-hood label and is relevant to the refrigerant fluid:
Extremely flammable. Chemicals that have an extremely low flash point and boiling point, and gases that catch fire when in contact with air.
Any dynamometer testing should only be carried out by a qualified person, familiar with the dynamometer testing and safety procedures practiced by retailers/authorized repairers.
Do not allow tools or metal parts of the vehicle to make contact with the battery leads or terminals. Such contacts may result in serious personal injury or death.
USED ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Prolonged contact with engine oil may cause serious skin disorders, including dermatitis and cancer of the skin. Always wash thoroughly after contact.
Pollution of drains, waterways, or soil is illegal. Use authorized waste disposal sites to dispose of used oil and toxic chemicals.
OPENING THE HOOD
WARNING
Before opening the hood, make sure that the ignition is switched off and the smart key is removed from the vehicle. Failure to do so can potentially result in serious injury or death.
To open the hood:
- Pull the handle, located in the left-side front footwell, to release the hood safety latch.
- Push the safety catch lever, located below the center point of the hood. Raise the hood.
CLOSING THE HOOD
WARNING
Before closing the hood, make sure that no-one is obstructing the closing area and that hands and clothes are clear. The closing hood may cause serious injuries.
WARNING
Do not drive with the hood secured by the safety catch alone. If the hood opens while driving, it may lead to a collision, which may cause serious injuries or death.
WARNING
When closing the hood, make sure to stand in front of the vehicle. Do not attempt to close the hood while standing at the side of the vehicle. Doing so may result in incorrect latching of the hood, which may cause serious injuries or death.
To close the hood:
- Using both hands, lower the hood and let it drop from a height of between 8 to 20 in (20 to 50 cm).
- Try to lift the front edge of the hood, near both corners, to check that it is securely engaged.
- If the hood lifts slightly, it is not properly latched. Open the hood again, and with a little more force, try again to close it.
UNDER-HOOD COVERS REMOVAL
Open the hood and follow the procedure:
Rotate the turn buckles counter-clockwise and remove (1). Slide the cover inboard towards the center of the vehicle slightly (2), then pull upwards to remove it. To refit, see UNDER-HOOD COVERS REFITTING.
UNDER-HOOD COVERS REFITTING
To refit the under-hood covers:
- Put the cover in position on the panel.
- Insert the cover’s locating lugs into the vehicle’s panel.
- Slide the cover outwards towards the sides of the car to align the turn buckle holes.
- Replace the turnbuckles.
NOTES
The cover should be a flush fit and aligned to the vehicle’s panel.
- Turn the turnbuckles clockwise to secure.
FUEL SYSTEM
WARNING
- Under no circumstances should any part of the fuel system be dismantled or replaced by anyone other than a suitably qualified vehicle technician. If any parts are replaced by an unqualified person, this may cause interference in the operation of the vehicle, leading to serious injury or death.
- Make sure sparks and open flames are kept away from the engine compartment. A spark may cause an explosion, which may lead to serious injuries or death.
- Wear protective clothing, including, where possible, gloves made from an impervious material. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
- If fuel odor is detected, switch off the vehicle and exit as soon as possible. Contact a suitably qualified vehicle technician. Failure to do so could lead to serious injuries or death.
CHANGING A BULB

All lights are LED units and must only be replaced by a retailer/authorized repairer.
WIPERS SERVICE POSITION
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the hood, do not lift the wiper blades when they are in the normal parked position.
NOTES
The smart key must remain in the vehicle while the wiper blades are being replaced.
