Installation of the lock and fuse of the engine compartment cover
1 - engine compartment cover lock; 2 - control rod of the lock fuse; 3 - thrust (cable in a flexible sheath) castle; 4 - front wall (middle part)
Lock of a cover of a motor compartment of the SAFE type. It is located on the front transverse wall in the middle. Its latch is part of the lid (bonnet). A separate lock is oriented vertically and is simultaneously connected to a fuse, which, when the lid is not tightly closed, (unlocked lock) prevents spontaneous opening. The control of a separate lock - its cocking - is carried out by a cable drawn through a flexible shell from the lock into the cab on the left under the dashboard, where the control lever is located.
When the hood is opened, the lock is released using a pull from the cab (hood half open). The lever-operated fuse is cocked by a rod located under the radiator grill within arm's reach.
