Release the safety lever and lift the engine hood.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the engine hood and wipers, make
sure the wipers are at resting position when you open the
engine hood.
Support the engine hood with the hood prop. Insert the hood
prop securely in the opening under the hood marked with an
arrow.
CAUTION
!
Always insert the support prop into the hole spe-
cially made for it. Propping the engine hood at any
other place could cause the prop to slip out and lead
to an accident.
The hood prop can fall out if the hood is lifted by a
strong wind.
