Opening the Bonnet on an Audi Q3

Knowing how to perform basic maintenance tasks on your car is important, and something that may seem a little tricky is knowing how to open the bonnet on your new or approved used Audi Q3. Opening the bonnet in an emergency situation could be crucial, but even in day-to-day ownership of the vehicle, being able to access the engine bay is important.

You could need to top up fluid, replace or top up the oil, or need to investigate something troublesome and to do so, opening the bonnet is going to be something you need to know how to do. There may also be the requirement to replace the air filters or spark plugs, or other forms of maintenance.

Choosing an Audi Q3 is a great option for a new or used vehicle, with great performance levels combined with excellent levels of technology, as well as the build quality you would expect from an Audi.

The first step to opening the bonnet is to locate the release button and give it a pull. Depending on the model and age of your Q3, it may be in different places, but many models have the release located under the dashboard – you may need to open the driver’s door to be able to access it. Once you find it, pull it, and this will release the bonnet.

Around the front of the car, find the latch release and pull it forward. Open the bonnet and ensure it is securely open either by locking into place, or by using a supporting rod if this is required.

It is important to securely close the bonnet once you have finished your maintenance or investigation, as this can cause serious issue when driving if it is not closed correctly.

If you are changing or topping up the oil, be sure to check your Audi Q3 user manual for the suitable type of oil, as this can vary depending on the age and specification of the vehicle.
