engine is hot.
Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in the engine com-
partment must be correctly
installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must
removed from the engine com-
partment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood halfway and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure.
WARNING
•
Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around hood
opening.
•
Always double check to be
be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the hood
could open while the vehicle
is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
•
Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed.
Doing so could result in an
accident. The hood could also
fall and become damaged.
