EMERGENCY MANUAL OPERATION
At all events manual operation of the hood is always possible, provided that the battery is NOT FLAT: in fact - in the event of an emergency - a release device for the hood and hood cover lock is provided which can be operated by the emergency buttons on the side of the rear compartment behind the driver's seat.
With button (1), pressing the lower part (A), it is possible to release the locks of the hood cover and pressing the upper part (B), it is possible to lock the locks.
With button (2), pressing the lower part (A), it is possible to release the fastening pins of the hood's 5th arc and pressing the upper part (B), it is possible to lock them.
NOTE: in the event of a power failure (battery flat) it is possible to release the hood cover lock working on the motor spindle. Open the passenger compartment boot and using the special wrench provided, press on the motor pin and turn the lever counter-clockwise until the hood cover locks are released.
