ment to ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects
are removed from the engine
compartment area or hood
opening area
- All glove, rags, or other com-
bustible material is removed
from the engine compartment

rectly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 30 cm from the
closed position) and push down to
securely lock in place. Then dou-
ble check to be sure the hood is
secure. If the hood can be raised
slightly, it is not securely locked.
Open it again and close it with
more force.
EXTERIOR FEATURES
• Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around hood
opening.
• Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away.
Check there is no hood open
warning light displayed on the
instrument cluster. Driving
with the hood opened may
cause a total loss of visibility,
which might result in an acci-
dent.
• Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.

fuel in the tank.Avoid driving with an extremely
low fuel level. Running out of fuel
could cause the engine to misfire,
damaging the catalytic converter.
