WARNING
■Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed
and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly,
it may open while the vehicle is in
motion and cause an accident,
which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.

scratching the hood.
●Use caution when opening the
hood in windy weather as it may
close suddenly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories

ucts to the hood. Such addi-
tional weight on the hood may
cause it to be too heavy to be
supported by the supporting rod
