If you need to perform maintenance in the engine compartment, the designers have ensured maximum maneuvering space: in fact, the hood of this car model can be lifted almost vertically and secured with special latches. Once the front hood is open and raised, locate the elastic latches on the rear hinges of the hood and press them to open and allow the hood to be fully raised, then close them to secure it. To lower it, first release the same latches.
