how to open the bonnet on a range rover evoque

Opening the bonnet (hood) on a Range Rover Evoque involves a simple process. Here are the steps to open the bonnet:

Materials You’ll Need:

• Range Rover Evoque vehicle

Steps:

1. Park Your Vehicle:
   • Ensure that your Range Rover Evoque is parked on a level surface and that the engine is turned off.
2. Locate the Bonnet Release Lever:
   • The bonnet release lever is typically located inside the vehicle, on the driver’s side.
3. Open the Driver’s Door:
   • Open the driver’s side door and look for a lever or handle located near the lower part of the dashboard, near the footwell.
4. Release the Bonnet Catch:
   • Pull the bonnet release lever or handle. This action will release the primary bonnet catch, but the bonnet will not yet be fully open.
5. Exit the Vehicle:
   • Exit the vehicle and move to the front of the Range Rover Evoque.
6. Locate the Secondary Bonnet Catch:
   • The secondary bonnet catch is located near the center of the front grille, just above the Land Rover emblem.
7. Release the Secondary Bonnet Catch:
   • Locate the secondary bonnet catch, which is a small lever or latch. You may need to feel for it since it can be recessed.
   • Push the secondary bonnet catch upward or to the side (depending on the model) to release it. This will unlock the bonnet and allow you to lift it open.
8. Open the Bonnet:
   • After releasing the secondary catch, lift the bonnet open. It should stay in the fully open position.

Closing the Bonnet:

When you’re finished with your maintenance or inspection under the bonnet, follow these steps to securely close it:

1. Lift the Bonnet Slightly: Lift the bonnet slightly and locate the secondary bonnet catch.
2. Engage the Secondary Bonnet Catch: Push the secondary bonnet catch back into place until it clicks or locks. Ensure it’s securely engaged.
3. Lower the Bonnet: Gently lower the bonnet back into its closed position.
4. Press Down on the Bonnet: Press down firmly on the front of the bonnet to ensure it’s securely closed.
5. Check the Bonnet: Make sure the bonnet is fully latched and secure before driving.

Opening and closing the bonnet of a Range Rover Evoque is a straightforward process, but it’s essential to follow these steps carefully to ensure the bonnet is safely secured in both the open and closed positions.
