Part: Body

In this video tutorial, you can see how to open and close the bonnet of a Citroen C3 by following some simple practical steps: first, secure your vehicle with the handbrake applied. Once inside the vehicle, the first thing you need to do is pull the lever located on the left side of the dashboard below the pedals for the clutch, brake, and accelerator. At this point, exit the car and go to the front where the bonnet is located. Lift the bonnet slightly and pull the lever to release it so you can raise it. Once raised, secure it to prevent it from closing using the appropriate prop. Perform your maintenance, then remove the prop carefully; close the bonnet by letting it drop from a certain height, ensuring it is always properly closed.
