. Be extremely careful not to catch
fingers or other objects when
closing the engine hood.
. Do not push the hood forcibly to
close it. It could deform the metal.

. Do not jam a plastic bag in or
place cellophane tape on the

hold the engine hood open.
. Do not put your hands on the
engine hood stay or push it
horizontally. Doing so could bend
the engine hood stay and the
trunk will not open or close.
. Do not disassemble the engine
hood stays. Also, do not dispose
of them in a fire.
