3. Hold the hood open with the support
rod.
Before closing the hood, return the
support rod to its clip to prevent it from
rattling. Lower the hood until it is about
30 cm (1 ft.) above the closed position
and let it drop. Make sure that it locks
into place.
!
CAUTION:
Make sure that the support rod has
been released prior to closing the
hood.
!
WARNING:
o Always double check to 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 acci-
dent.
o The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole provided
in the hood whenever you in-
spect the engine compartment.
This will prevent the hood from
falling and possibly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as
vision is obstructed and the hood
could fall or be damaged.

If the fuel-filler lid will not open
because ice has formed around it,
tap lightly or push on the lid to

diator anti-freeze) or move the
