• Rotate the rod up and insert the free end
securely into the socket on the
underside of the hood.
To close the hood:
• While holding the hood to keep it from
falling, remove the support rod from the
socket and secure it firmly back into its
retaining clip.
• Make sure hands and other body parts,
as well as those of other persons, are
completely away from the engine
compartment and hood-to-body edges.
• Lower the hood, allowing it to drop from
a height of about 30cm.
• Make sure that the hood is securely
locked in place.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 3–25
CAUTION
Pull on the front edge of the hood to
make sure it is latched securely before
you drive your vehicle.
Do not pull the hood release handle
while your vehicle is moving.
Do not drive the vehicle with the hood
open. An open hood will obscure the
driver's vision.
Operating your vehicle with an
obstructed view can lead to a collision
resulting in damage to your vehicle or
other property, personal injury, or even
death.
Be careful not to drop or spill things
that will burn onto a hot engine. They
could start a fire and you or others
could be burned.
Fans or other moving engine parts can
injure you badly. Keep your hands, hair
and loose clothing away from moving
parts.
