LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove hood lock assembly, loosen the hood hinge nuts and close the hood.
2. Adjust the lateral and longitudinal clearance, and open the hood to tighten the hood hinge mounting bolts
to the specified torque.
3. Install the hood lock temporarily, and align the hood striker and hood lock so that the centers of hood
striker and hood lock become vertical viewed from the front, by moving the hood lock laterally.
4. Tighten hood lock assembly mounting bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Adjust right/left clearance between hood and each part to the following specification.
FRONT END HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the hood lock and adjust the height by rotating the bumper rubber until the hood becomes 1 to1.5
mm (0.04 to 0.059 in) lower than the fender.
2. Temporarily tighten the hood lock assembly, and position it by engaging it with the hood striker. Check the
hood lock and hood striker for looseness, and tighten the hood lock assembly mounting bolts to the spec-
ified torque.

SURFACE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove hood lock assembly, and adjust the surface height difference of hood and fender according to the
fitting standard dimension, by rotating RH and LH bumper rubbers.
2. Install hood lock temporarily, and move hood lock laterally until the centers of striker and lock become ver-
tical when viewed from the front.
3. Make sure that the hood lock secondary latch is properly
engaged with the secondary striker with hood's own weight.
4. Make sure that the hood lock primary latch is securely engaged
with the hood striker with hood's own weight by dropping hood
from approx. 200 mm (7.87 in) height.
CAUTION:
Do not drop hood from a height of 300 mm (11.81 in) or
more.
5. Move hood lockup and down until striker smoothly engages the
lock when the hood is closed.
6. When pulling the hood opener lever gently, make sure that front
end of the hood rises by approximately 20 mm (0.79 in) and that hood striker and hood lock primary latch
is disengaged. Also make sure that hood opener returns to the original position.
7. After adjustment, tighten lock bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Adjust evenness between hood and fender to the following specification.
Hood and fender (C–C) : 0 ± 1.0 mm (0 ± 0.04 in)

The spot weld on HSS panels is harder than that of an ordi-
nary steel panel.
Therefore, when cutting spot welds on a HSS panel, use a
low speed high torque drill (1,000 to 1,200 rpm) to increase
drill bit durability and facilitate the operation.
2. Precautions in spot welding HSS
This work should be performed under standard working condi-
tions. Always note the following when spot welding HSS:

The electrode tip diameter must be sized properly according
to the metal thickness.

The panel surfaces must fit flush to each other, leaving no
gaps.

Follow the specifications for the proper welding pitch.
