• Before closing the hood, ensure
that all obstructions are removed
from the hood opening. Closing the
hood with an obstruction present
in the hood opening may result in
property damage or severe per‐
sonal injury.

• Do not leave gloves, rags or any
other combustible material in the
engine compartment. Doing so
may cause a heat-induced fire.
WARNING
• Always double check to be sure
that the hood is firmly latched be‐
fore driving away. If it is not latch‐
ed, the hood could fly open while
the vehicle is being driven, causing
a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
• The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole whenever
you inspect the engine compart‐
ment. This will prevent the hood
from falling and possibly injuring
you.
• Do not move the vehicle with the
hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall or
be damaged.
WARNING
When you check the engine com‐
partment, please make sure your
head is not injured by the hood safe‐
ty hook which is located inside of the
hood.
