the hood slowly, then let it drop the last few inches.

the vehicle is moving and block your forward vision.
Be sure all hood latches are latched fully before
driving.

show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights. You can signal a lane change by moving the lever

tween cycles, desirable. Move the lever to the DELAY
position, then select the delay interval by turning the end
of the lever. The delay can be regulated from a maximum
of approximately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle
