Removal

2. Where applicable, unscrew the cable securing clip from the front body panel (see illustration).
9.2. Bonnet release cable end fitting (1) and cable securing clip (2)
3. Working inside the vehicle, remove the securing bolt and withdraw the bonnet release lever from under the facia (see illustration).
9.3. Withdrawing the bonnet release lever
4. Note the routing of the cable and release it from any clips in the engine compartment, then feed the cable through the bulkhead grommet into the vehicle interior. Note that the cable is integral with the release lever and cannot be renewed separately.
Refitting
5. Refitting is a reversal of removal, but ensure that the bulkhead grommet is securely located and make sure that the cable is routed as noted before removal.
