NOTE
 To prevent damage to the engine hood and
wipers, make sure the wipers are at resting
position when you open the engine hood.
9-4 Vehicle care and maintenance
Support the engine hood with the hood prop.
Insert the hood prop securely in the opening
under the hood marked with an arrow.
CAUTION
 Always insert the support prop into the hole
specially made for it. Propping the engine
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
Unlatch the prop from the engine hood and
put it back in its retainer.
Slowly lower the engine hood about 8 inches
(20 cm), then let it drop from its own weight.
CAUTION
 Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers
when closing the engine hood.
 Make sure the engine hood is firmly closed
before driving.
If you drive without the engine hood com-
pletely closed, it could open up while driv-
ing.
NOTE
 If this does not close the engine hood prop-
erly, drop it again from a slightly higher
position.
