What tools will you need?
Before we start, let’s gather the tools you’ll need to successfully open the bonnet:
- A flathead screwdriver
Step-by-step guide to open the bonnet:
1. Locate the bonnet release lever: Start by sitting in the driver’s seat. On the lower-left side, underneath the dashboard, you’ll find a lever. This is the bonnet release lever.
2. Release the bonnet catch: Insert the flathead screwdriver into the gap near the bonnet release lever. Gently push the lever to the right until you hear a distinct click. This action releases the bonnet catch.
3. Open the bonnet: Exit the vehicle and proceed to the front of the car. Lift the bonnet slightly using the lever located beneath the Dacia badge at the front. With one hand maintaining the lift, use the other hand to release the safety latch located in the middle of the bonnet and lift it fully.
Important tips and precautions:
– Ensure your Dacia Sandero is parked on a flat surface before attempting to open the bonnet.
– Use caution while handling the screwdriver to avoid any damage to the surrounding area of the bonnet release lever.
– Never attempt to open the bonnet while the engine is hot, as it may cause burns.
