Closing the hood
1.Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in the engine com-
partment must be
installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must
removed from the engine com-
partment.
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
- Fire risk
Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING
engine hood
Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched
correctly
before driving away. If it is not
latched, the hood could fly open
while the vehicle is being driv-
be
en, causing a total loss of visi-
bility, which might result in an
accident.
The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole whenever
you inspect the engine compartment.
This will prevent the hood from falling
and possibly injuring you.
