movement from the bonnet release control to the bonnet locking mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the release handle is operated, the inner cable moves within its outer sheath and actuates the bonnet release mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorrect cable travel is important because insufficient movement can prevent one or both bonnet catches from releasing correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system must also allow the locks to return fully to their normal position when the bonnet is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBonnet Locking System Information\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Range Rover bonnet locking arrangement consists of several interacting
