Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in
and around the motor compart-
ment to ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects
are removed from the motor
room area or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other com-
bustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and cor-
rectly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
from the closed position) and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure. If the hood can be
raised slightly, it is not securely
locked. Open it again and close it
with more force.
Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around the
hood opening.
Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away.
Check there is no hood open
warning light or message dis-
played on the instrument clus-
ter. Driving with the hood
opened may cause a total loss
of visibility, which might
result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
WARNING
Grasp the support rod in the
area wrapped in rubber.
The support rod must be
inserted completely into the
hole provided whenever you
inspect the motor compart-
ment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.

Air conditioning system operation
tips
If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from recircu-
lation mode to fresh mode.
To help decrease the humidity
inside the vehicle on rainy or humid
days, operate the air conditioning
system with the windows and sun-
roof closed. It is useful to operate the air condi-
tioning system periodically through-
out the year. Turn on the A/C sys-
tem at least once a month for a few
minutes to maintain system pres-
sure and help optimize A/C per-
formance.
Note that if you operate the air con-
ditioner to cool your vehicle with
the mode set to or when
the outside relative humidity is
high, moisture may collect on the
outer surface of the windshield
glass causing the windshield to fog
up on the outside and limit your
visibility.
If this occurs, use the windshield
wipers to clear the glass. In addi-
tion, change the mode selection
knob or button on the climate con-
trol system to the mode to
redirect cooling air away from the
windshield.
