How to Restart a Chevrolet Matiz After a "Rain Bomb"

Model: Chevrolet Matiz MK 1 - Years 1998-2010
Part: Fuse box

This video presents a very useful tip regarding what can unfortunately happen in weather conditions that occur quite frequently nowadays, referred to as "rain bombs", often accompanied by heavy hail and nearby lightning strikes. Although we know that there is no risk from lightning while inside our vehicle, this does not mean that such adverse weather conditions cannot cause damage, especially to small cars like a Chevrolet Matiz. It often happens that after one of these true "tornadoes", our little car appears "dead"; but we know where to act. In the fuse box located on the right side of the battery (thus in front of the driver), we find the fuse box. The first two fuses we see in the video are F15 and F23, labelled respectively: "service 2" and "service 1". Simply replace them (always keep two spares) to get the vehicle running again.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
