Hood Release - Chery TIGGO User Manual

Turn Off Your Engine
Before turning off your engine, always
allow the engine to resume normal
idling speed and run for several sec-
onds. This assures that the engine's
temperature can fall gradually. This is
particularly necessary after any period
of hard driving.
CAUTION!
The engine's temperature will remain
high after you turn the engine off. Af-
ter the engine is turned off, the ve-
hicles electric cooling fan will continue
to run for approximately 60 seconds.
Even if the cooling fan stops, it may run
again suddenly because of the high
temperature. Therefore, extra atten-
tion and caution must be given when
working in the engine compartment.

CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the hood to close it. Lower the
hood until it is open approximately 20
cm and then drop it. This should se-
cure both latches. Never drive your ve-
hicle unless the hood is fully closed,
with both latches engaged.
