Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the fol-lowing:
must be correctly installed.
bustible material must be removed
from the engine compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood until it is about 1 ft. (30 cm) above the closed position and let
it drop. Make sure that it locks into
place.
WARNING - Hood
Before closing the hood, ensurethat all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing
the hood with an obstruction
present in the hood opening may
result in property damage or
severe personal injury.
Do not leave gloves, rags or any other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING
Always double check to be surethat the hood is firmly latched
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could open
while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an accident.
The support rod must be inserted completely into the hole provided
in the engine room whenever you
inspect the engine compartment.
This will prevent the hood from
falling and possibly injuring you.
Do not move the vehicle with the hood in the raised position, as
vision is obstructed and the hood
could fall or be damaged.
