lease to Express Close.

WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to fol-
low this warning could result in serious injury
or death.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage:
• Before closing hood, make sure the hood
prop rod is fully seated into its storage
retaining clips.
• Do not slam the hood to close it. Use a firm
downward push at the center front edge of
the hood to ensure that both latches en-
gage. Never drive your vehicle unless the
hood is fully closed, with both latches
engaged.
