WARNING

The support rod must be insert-

ed completely into the hole

whenever you inspect the

engine compartment. This will

prevent the hood from falling

Always double check to be sure

that the hood is firmly latched

before driving away. If it is not

latched, the hood could fly open

while the vehicle is being driven,

causing a total loss of visibility,

which might result in an accident.

Before closing the hood, ensure

that all obstructions are

removed from the engine com-

partment and surrounding body

sheet metal. Closing the hood

with an obstruction present

could result in damage to the

engine, sheet metal or the

impacted objects.
