The hood release lever is located between the
headlights.

disengage the four hood latches.
CAUTION! Always use only the hood handle when
opening the hood. Do not grasp the hood edges.
2. The metal hood handle is a plate located above
the release lever and on the underside of the

vehicle.

until the hood is fully seated. Apply firm downward pressure on the hood at all four latch

Windshield (if equipped)
NOTICE: Brake fluid and alcohol will permanently damage the windshield. Do not use glass cleaners,
water or soil repellents, and petroleum or alcohol based cleaners on the windshield, as
these products can damage the windshield.
The windshield provides wind protection and increased
riding comfort but will not protect riders in a collision
with another vehicle, the road, birds or any other
object. Do not ride with a loose or damaged windshield
or mounting hardware. Regularly check all fasteners
for tightness.
Tighten all center windshield mount screws (if
equipped) to 6-8 ft-lbs (8-11 Nm). Tighten all other
screws only until the wellnut begins to turn.
Windshield Care
Clean the windshield with a soft cloth and plenty of
warm water. Dry with a soft clean cloth. Remove minor
scratches with a high-quality polishing compound
designed for use on polycarbonate surfaces.
WARNING! Always replace the windshield if scratches obstruct clear vision and cannot be removed.
Fuel Cap
The fuel tank filler cap is located on the left side of the vehicle,
behind the driver’s seat.
