Closing the Hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
followings:
• All filler caps in engine compart-
ment must be securely closed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Lower the hood halfway and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then, double check that the hood

is securely latched.
• Before closing the hood,
make sure that all obstacles
are removed from the path of
the hood opening.
• Always double check that the
hood is firmly latched before
driving. If not, the hood may
swing open while driving,
causing a total loss of visibili-
ty and an accident.
• Do not drive the vehicle, when
the hood is slightly opened,
as vision is obstructed, possi-
bly resulting in an accident
and damaging the hood.
