Arrangement of a bonnet on a vehicle

The arrangement is connected with a vehicle body using a hinge mechanism, which has longitudinal recesses (5, 6) in its section. A force-fit/form-fit connection between the section and bolts (7, 9, 10) is partially lifted, so that the bolts are shifted in the recesses and the mechanism is guided lower into the recesses in the vertical direction, when a load is exerted on the mechanism in the direction with minimum force. The bolts are stuck with their shanks through the longitudinal recesses and fastened on the vehicle body.
