i
• Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around the
hood opening.
• 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 dis-
played on the instrument clus-
ter. If the hood is not latched
while the vehicle is moving,
the chime will sound to warn
the driver the hood is not fully
latched. Driving with the hood
opened may cause a total loss
of visibility, which might
result in an accident.
• Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed.
Doing so could result in an
accident. The hood could also
fall and become damaged.
