WARNING:o 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.
o The support rod must be inserted com-
pletely into the hole provided in the hood
whenever you inspect the engine com-
partment. This will prevent the hood from
falling and possibly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the hood in
the raised position, as vision is ob-
structed and the hood could fall or be
damaged.
