Lift the bonnet and place the support rod. On the right side of the vehicle, the bonnet has two internal clips that you need to remove with a small flat screwdriver. Another clip is located centrally at the bottom of the bonnet.

Once all three are removed, disconnect the cable located near the windscreen, as shown in the video. On each side, the bonnet is secured by a bracket and two bolts; unscrew them with a socket spanner, taking care to prevent the bonnet from falling: it is advisable to have someone assist you during this operation, so they can support the bonnet while you work.

Lower the support rod and remove the bonnet.
