WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that
the hood is firmly latched before driv-
ing away. If it is not latched, the hood
could fly open while the vehicle is
being driven, causing a total loss of
visibility, which might result in an
accident.
o The support rod must be inserted
completely into the hole provided in
the hood whenever you inspect the
engine compartment. This will pre-
vent the hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
o Do not move the vehicle with the
hood in the raised position, as vision
is obstructed and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
