Step 1: Preparation:
- Park your Peugeot 106 in a safe and level location, and turn off the engine. Engage the parking brake to ensure stability.
Step 2: Locate the Bonnet Release Lever:
- Inside your Peugeot 106, look for the bonnet release lever. It is usually located near the driver's footwell, below the dashboard.
Step 3: Pull the Bonnet Release Lever:
- Pull the bonnet release lever firmly. You might need to use some force to release it, but be gentle to prevent any damage.
Step 4: Locate the Secondary Bonnet Latch:
- Under the bonnet of your Peugeot 106, locate the secondary bonnet latch. It is usually a small lever or clip located near the front of the engine.
Step 5: Release the Secondary Bonnet Latch:
- Push or pull the secondary bonnet latch as needed to release the bonnet fully.
Step 6: Lift the Bonnet:
- Once both the interior bonnet release lever and the secondary latch are released, lift the bonnet of your Peugeot 106.
Step 7: Secure the Bonnet:
- There should be a prop rod or support arm to keep the bonnet open. Insert the prop rod into the designated slot or hook to secure the bonnet in the open position.
Precautions:
- Always ensure the bonnet is properly secured before driving to avoid it opening unexpectedly.
- If you encounter any resistance when opening the bonnet, do not force it. Check the release mechanisms again or consult your vehicle manual for further guidance.
- Be cautious of any hot parts, moving components, or rotating belts in the engine bay.
