System for opening/closing a bonnet

A system for opening and closing a vehicle hood, comprising:

• a manual maneuvering element including a cylindrical member that is rotatable around an axis to control positioning of the hood on a vehicle body and an actuating element extending out from the cylindrical member in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical member;
• and
• a mechanism for locking and unlocking the manual maneuvering element that is separate from the manual maneuvering element and configured to rotate around an axis independently from the manual maneuvering element, the mechanism for locking and unlocking comprises:
• a connecting module formed by a hollow cylindrical member,
• a control device positioned within the hollow cylindrical member and including a key hole at the first end of the hollow cylinder member leading to a lock cylinder, and
• a movable arm rotatably attached to a second end of the hollow cylindrical member, and the movable arm is rotatable to directly contact the cylindrical member of the manual maneuvering element to prevent rotation of the manual maneuvering element.
