Peugeot 2008: Practical information / Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet, you must switch off the
ignition to avoid any risk of injury resulting from an automatic change to START
mode.

The
location of the interior bonnet release lever prevents opening the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is closed.
When
the engine is hot, handle the exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after the engine has been switched
off.
Take care with objects or clothing that could be caught in the blades
of the fan!
Opening
- Open the left-hand front door.

- Pull the interior release lever, located at the bottom of the door frame,
towards you.

- Lift the exterior safety catch and raise the bonnet.
- Unclip the stay from its housing and place it in the support slot to
hold the bonnet open.
Closing
- Hold the bonnet and pull out the stay from the support slot.
- Clip the stay in its housing.
- Lower the bonnet and release it near the end of its travel.
- Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked correctly.
Because of the presence of electrical equipment under the bonnet, it is strongly
recommended that exposure to water (rain, washing, etc.) be limited.
This system manages the duration of use of certain functions, in order to
conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still use functions such as the audio
and telematic system, the wipers and the dipped beam headlamps or courtesy lamps,
for a combined duration of approximately 40 minutes...
