Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check the
following:
• All filler caps in the engine
compartment must be correctly
installed.
• Gloves, rags or any other
combustible materials must
be removed from the engine
compartment.
2. Return the support rod to its clip to
prevent it from rattling.
3. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 30 cm from the closed
position) and push down to securely
lock in place. Then double check to be
sure the hood is secure.
WARNING
Always double check to be sure that the
hood is firmly latched before driving
away. Check there is no hood open
warning light or message displayed on
the instrument cluster. Driving with the
hood opened may cause a total loss
of visibility, which might result in an
accident.
WARNING
• Before closing the hood, ensure that
all obstructions are removed from
the hood opening. Closing the hood
with an obstruction present in the
hood opening may result in property
damage or severe personal injury.
• Do not leave gloves, rags or any other
combustible materials in the engine
compartment. Doing so may cause a
heat-induced fire.
• Do not move the vehicle with
the hood raised. The view will be
blocked and the hood could fall or be
damaged.
