5. Raise the hood completely. The
operation is assisted by the addition of
two gas props which hold it in the open
position.
Note:
Do not tamper with the props and
assist the hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood.
Before lifting, check that the windshield
wiper arms are not raised from the
windshield or in operation, that the
vehicle is stationary and that the electric
park brake is engaged.
Closing
As the hood is extremely light, to close
the hood, lower it to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine
compartment then apply a slight
pressure downward and drop the hood.
Make sure that the hood is completely
closed and fully latched. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to push the
hood down but open it and repeat the
procedure
Note: Always check that the hood is
closed correctly to prevent it from
opening while the vehicle is traveling.
Since the hood is equipped with a double
locking system, one for each side, you
must check that it is closed on both its
side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.

operated and is deactivated when the
vehicle is in motion.

If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.
Note:Front and/or side air bags will not
deploy in all collisions. This does not
mean something is wrong with the air bag
system.
If you do have a collision which deploys
the air bags, any or all of the following
may occur:
The air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to
the occupants as the air bags deploy and
unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent and
normally heal quickly. However, if you
haven’t healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see
your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process
that generates the non-toxic gas used for
air bag inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,
rinse the area with cool water. For nose
or throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation continues, see your
doctor. If these particles settle on your
clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be
in place to protect you.
Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in another
collision. Have the air bags, seat belt
pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller System serviced as
well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in
the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact, depending
on the nature of the event, the ORC will
determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the
following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine (If Equipped)
Cut off battery power to the electric
motor (If Equipped)
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Your vehicle may also be designed to
perform any of these other functions in
response to the Enhanced Accident
Response System:
Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off
the HVAC Blower Motor, Close the HVAC
Circulation Door

Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside The Vehicle
Tires

and uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass, or other objects
lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect
the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect
sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness.
Check the tires (including spare) for
proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of
brake lights and exterior lights while you
work the controls. Check turn signal and
high beam indicator lights on the
instrument panel.
Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and
locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under the vehicle after
overnight parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or
other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes
are detected or if fuel, or brake fluid
leaks are suspected. The cause should be
located and corrected immediately.
