WARNING
Always double check to besure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away. If
it is not latched, the hood
could fly open while the vehi-
cle is being driven, causing a
total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with the hood raised. The view will
be blocked and the hood
could fall or be damaged.
