Under the KA Bonnet

Here is what it looks like under the bonnet of the 2005 Ford KA Duratec.  The marked items are the ones you need to know:

All the levels should be between “min” and “max”, except the windscreen washer bottle which is just filled up to the top

 

Everything you can touch under the bonnet is yellow, but don’t, just point – it will be HOT.

Before turning on the ignition check the handbrake is and the gear lever is in NEUTRAL

 

To open the bonnet:

Pull the catch under the steering column downwards, then lift the bonnet with your right hand and push the catch (just left of centre) sideways to the left. Then lift the bonnet, unclip the rod and locate it in the slot to hold the bonnet up.

 

To close the bonnet – lower it gently down and then drop it for the last 20 cms.

 

ALWAYS try to lift the bonnet again after closing it to be sure that it is locked in place. NOT DOING THIS COULD KILL YOU

(It may fly up whilst you are driving along !)
