How to Open the Bonnet of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Body

Opening the bonnet of the Citroen C3 is a very simple operation. As shown in the video, just pull the red lever under the steering wheel and the bonnet will open. This operation takes only a few seconds. Once the bonnet is open (you will notice it is raised and hear the spring release), exercise caution when lifting it and secure it with the bonnet prop rod. Ensure it is correctly inserted to avoid accidental release. To close the bonnet, proceed carefully by removing the prop rod and lowering the bonnet almost to closure, then let go to allow the locking spring to engage.
