ment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
Closing the hood

following:
• All filler caps in motor room must
be correctly installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other com-
bustible material must be removed
from the motor compartment.

prevent it from rattling.

check to be sure the hood is secure.

is not securely locked. Open it
again and close it with more force.
