Strange Error
Hi All,
I opened my bonnet a few days ago ( for the first time ) to get some leaves out that had dropped down from the windscreen. Anyhow, I dropped the bonnet shut and thought all was well. I drove the car the next morning and the bonnet open alarm went off, I noticed it hadn't quite shut on the right hand side ( still don't get how crap the bonnet close is on these cars ), I popped it and 'helped' it shut. This time it was fully closed both sides and no alarm or error in the car. However, the connected drive app has now reported the bonnet open since then. Shows a warning but then also says the bonnet is closed. Has anyone seen this before ? I have deleted the app and re-installed it but still the same. I check on my PC and it also shows the error. |

From what I can tell the car sends info to the Connected "cloud" on startup and shutdown. I'm assuming you've driven the car at least once since you properly closed the hood (aka bonnet)? You might want to try starting the car and then opening/closing the hood to the proper seal and take it for a quick drive. Hopefully when you shut it off when you're back home it will sync the proper data to the cloud.

There is also a whole tread about how to fix the hood close problem we all have. Slam it hard on both hands, or use the tool to adjust the latches. |

Yes, it's a delay in the way the car only talks to the "cloud" on startup and shutdown. Apparently, the OP's car was not properly syncing the status so opening/closing the hood after startup and having it sync at shutdown sync'd the appropriate data.

Only after I followed your advice and did it whilst the engine was running did it finally clear the fault. |
