- Press the release tab (1) down to unlatch the filter trap.
- Remove the filter trap (2) from the aeroplane duct. Clean the filter and remove any obstructions such as leaves.
- Slide the filter trap back into the aeroblade duct making sure the guides engage correctly.
Hood Release
To open the hood press the button (A) located on the end of the instrument panel to release the hood latches.
The hood release button is always on the driver’s end of the instrument panel and changes with hand of drive.
Lift on the rear edges of the hood and pull upward and lift until fully open. The hood is then held open by two gas struts.
To close the hood, lower the hood until it starts to fall under its own weight. At that point let the hood fall to close. If the hood does not shut, open the hood again and repeat the closure procedure, this time assist using light hand pressure as the hood falls.
Emergency Hood Release
In the unlikely event that either the hood release switch fails to operate or the vehicle battery is fully discharged there are two manual release cables (A) located either side of the instrument panel.
Pull both cables to release the latches for the hood.
