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.  
After installing the support rod into the slot  
Make sure the rod supports the hood securely preventing it from falling  
down onto your head or body.  
NOTICE  
When closing the hood  
Be sure to return the support rod to its clip before closing the hood. Closing  
the hood with the support rod not clipped could cause the hood to bend.
