Mitsubishi i-MiEV 2011 Owner's Manual page 368

Support the hood by inserting the support prop (B) into its slot
on the underside of the hood arm.
CAUTION
!
Always insert the support prop into the hole spe-
cially made for it. Propping the 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.
To close
Make sure the hood is securely locked by softly lifting the cen-
tre of the hood.
Slowly lower the hood about 12 inches (30 cm), then let it drop
from its own weight.
CAUTION
!
Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers when
closing the hood.
Make sure the hood is firmly closed before driving.
If you drive without the hood completely closed, it
could open up while driving.
