Hood
To open:
To unlock the hood, pull release lever (1) under the driver's
side of the instrument panel. At the same time handle
(2) will extend out of the radiator grill (it may be necessary to lift the hood up slightly).
Caution !
To avoid damage to the windshield wiper or hood, open the hood only with wiper in the parked position. Pull handle
(2) completely out of radiator grill and open hood (do not pull up on handle).
To close:
Lower hood and let it drop into lock from a height of approx. 1 ft. (30 cm), assisting with hands pl aced flat on edges
of hood (3). To avoid hood damage, if hood is not fully cl osed, repeat closing procedure. Do not push down on hood
to attempt to fully close it.
Warning!
To help prevent personal injury, stay clear of moving parts when the hood is open and the engine is running.
Be sure the hood is properly closed before driving. When closing hood, use extreme caution not to catch
hands or fingers. The engine is equipped with a transi storized ignition system. Because of the high voltage it
is dangerous to touch any components (ignition coils , spark plug sockets, diagnostic socket) of the ignition
system
• with the engine running,
• while starting the engine,
• if ignition is "on" and the engine is turned manually.
If you see flames, steam or smoke coming from the engi ne compartment, or if the coolant temperature
gauge indicates that the engine is overheated, do not open the hood. Move away from vehicle and do not
open the hood until the engine has cooled. If necessary, call a fire department.
