the support rod into the slot.
Before closing the hood, check that you
have not forgotten any tools, rags, etc.
and return the support rod to its clip-this
prevents rattles. Then lower the hood until
it is about 20 cm (8 in.) above the engine
compartment and release it. If the hood is
still not fully closed, lift and release the
hood again. After closing the hood, make
sure it is securely locked.
If you notice while driving that the hood is

once and close the hood.

may be hot, so only touch the part
coated with nylon.
D After inserting the rod into the slot,
make sure the rod supports the
hood securely from falling down on
to your head or body.
D When closing the hood, be careful
not to get your hands caught be-
tween the hood and the vehicle
body.
NOTICE

may deform the hood.
