Closing the Hood

1. Check under the hood area to make

certain all filler caps are in place and
all loose items (e.g. tools, oil
containers, etc.) have been removed.

2. Lift the hood, grasp the padded area on

the support rod, and secure the support
rod in the clip. Verify that the support
rod is secured in the clip before closing
the hood.

about 20 cm (7.9 in) above its closed
position and then let it drop.

CAUTION

When closing the hood, do not push it
excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be
deformed.
