4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
CAUTION

Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly it may open while the vehicle is in motion
and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE


When opening the hood


Do not lift up or operate the wipers. Doing so may cause the hood and wip-
ers to contact, scratching the hood.

Use caution when opening the engine hood in windy weather as it may
close suddenly in strong wind.

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota products to the
engine hood. Such additional weight on the engine hood may cause it to
be too heavy to be supported by the supporting rod when opened.


When closing the hood

Do not apply excessive weight or force when closing the hood as doing so
may result in damage.
