1. Hood
The hood lock has a dual locking design which consists of
a main lock and a safety lock mechanism. When the
release knob located at the front pillar on the driver’s side
is pulled back, the main lock is released through the cable
attached to the knob.
The safety lock can be released by pushing the lever pro-
truding above the front grill while opening the hood.

C: INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
With buffer protruding about 18 mm (0.71 in) beyond
radiator panel, make sure that:
No clearance exists between buffer and inner hood.
Hood main lock is applied when hood is released at
a height of approximately 10 cm (3.94 in) above the
closed position.
G5M0142
NOTE:
Align the center of striker with lock during installation.
Make sure safety lever is properly caught by striker under
the hood’s own weight.
Route hood lock release cable and hold with clips.
After installing release cable, ensure it operates
smoothly.
Apply grease to sliding surfaces of parts.
B5M0268A
D: ADJUSTMENT
1) Fore-aft and left-right adjustments
Loosen striker mounting bolts and adjust fore-and-aft posi-
tion of striker.
CAUTION:
Do not adjust striker position using the lock. Doing so
may result in a misaligned front grille.
2) Up-down adjustment
Make up-and-down adjustment of striker only when hood
does not properly contact buffer or hood is not flush with
fender, or when release cable does not properly operate.
Adjustment can be made by adjusting the stroke length of
striker after lock assembly mounting screws are removed.
