Diagram Ref No 12
What This Product Does:
- The bonnet release cable provides a mechanical connection from the lever inside the driver’s area to the front bonnet latch — when you pull the lever, the cable pulls a mechanism unlocking the bonnet.
- It ensures the bonnet can be opened reliably and safely by the driver, and that the latch is disengaged fully.
- A correctly functioning cable ensures smooth and consistent operation of the bonnet release system (no sticking, no extra force, no incomplete release).
Symptoms & Signs You May Need Replacement:
- The bonnet does not open when the interior lever is pulled (or requires excessive force) — often the cable is stretched, frayed or broken.
- The lever inside feels very loose, or the cable has excessive slack — meaning the latch may not disengage fully.
- The bonnet unlocks partially but you need to push up or use extra force to get it to open — the cable may be binding or the sheath may be damaged.
- Visible damage: frayed cable, cracked sheath, visible corrosion or kinks in the run of the cable under the front bonnet.
Why Replacement Matters:
- Safety & convenience: A faulty bonnet release cable can prevent access to the engine bay, hamper service, or in worst cases prevent full latch engagement (which might cause bonnet movement while driving).
- Maintains OEM feel & reliability: A new genuine cable restores smooth, predictable operation.
- Prevents damage: If the cable breaks unexpectedly (for example while the bonnet is partially open), it could cause the bonnet to fly up or need emergency release — a risk.
- Cost-effective fix: Replacing a cable is relatively inexpensive compared to problems caused by stuck or broken bonnet latches or damages from bonnet mis-closing.
